The largest garda staff association is embroiled in controversy after its outgoing president made a series of dramatic accusations regarding internal "militancy".

At the annual conference of the Garda Representative Association, Jim Mulligan told delegates he had brought his concerns to Justice Minister Helen McEntee who, he maintained, has asked Commissioner Drew Harris to look into the matter.
