Garda Commissioner Drew Harris has condemned the “disgraceful attacks” experienced by gardaí recently, ensuring that enhanced and additional safety equipment will be given to gardaí, as well as extra training.

It comes as a forklift driver has been accused of causing permanent and “life-long lasting deformities” to a garda’s finger following a traffic stop in Dublin over the weekend.
