GRA has no comment on Jobstown trial Garda testimony

The body representing members of An Garda Síochána has refused to offer an explanation as to how Garda testimony during the Jobstown trial was at odds with the video evidence offered to the court.

However, the Garda Representative Association said the Jobstown case showed the need to provide gardaí with wearable body cameras to collect evidence from protests and other incidents.

John O’Keeffe of the GRA said he would not comment on the particulars of one specific case, but dismissed claims that the gardaí’s actions were a politically motivated “stitch-up”.
