'We can affirm the commitment of our members' - Garda body hit back at D'Arcy comments

The junior minister said the attack on Kevin Lunney should have been dealt with "sooner and better at that level" by senior gardaí.

The leaders of two organisations representing gardaí have described criticism of the garda investigation into attacks on Quinn Industrial Holdings by Minister of State Michael D’Arcy as unhelpful and called on him to apologise.

The President of the Association of Garda Sergeants and Inspectors (AGSI), Cormac Moylan told RTÉ radio's Morning Ireland, that the commitment of AGSI members could not be questioned.
