McDowell responsible for low morale, says Garda leader

The president of the Association of Garda Sergeants and Inspectors (AGSI) tonight launched a prolonged attack on Tánaiste and Minister for Justice Michael McDowell, saying that morale in the force is the worst it has been for at least 35 years.

In an address to the AGSI conference in Wexford, Paschal Feeney pointed to what he regards as a catalogue of failures and broken promises from the Tánaiste as he oversees reform of the force.
