Garda magazine may close amid GRA row

Garda Review, the trade magazine for rank and file gardaí, may be shut down in the midst of a row between the magazine’s editor and the Garda Representative Association.

In correspondence seen by the Irish Examiner, the board of Garda Review has instructed the editor that no further money be paid to contributors to the magazine until a review of its viability be undertaken. This, according to a solicitor’s letter from the board to the editor, is due to the fact that “interest in the magazine generally has dwindled”. There is no figures for circulation or subscription attached to the letter. Garda Review is 95% owned by the GRA.
