Justice minister Helen McEntee has moved to quell opposition from gardaí about a new policing reform bill after middle-ranking gardaí slammed the legislation at their annual conference.

Ms McEntee was in Killarney this evening to address the members of the Association of Garda Sergeants and Inspectors (AGSI).
