The Association of Garda Sergeants and Inspectors (AGSI) has called the treatment of a garda at the Dublin Bay South by-election count centre “abhorrent.” 

The incident the AGSI refers to occurred last Friday, July 9, when UCD professor and anti-lockdown campaigner Dolores Cahill was prevented from entering an election count centre in Dublin after she refused to wear a face mask.
