Government urged to 'look into' Gsoc as garda faces charges over car chase

“What are we saying to the criminals of Ireland that gardaí are not going to go after you if you go down the wrong way on a road?" Labour TD Alan Kelly asked the Dáil.

Labour TD Alan Kelly has urged the Government to “look into” the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission (Gsoc), labelling plans to prosecute a member for doing “his duty” as “outrageous”.

Mr Kelly said the public is “outraged” at the decision to charge the guard and called for a debate on Gsoc, which he said is “desperately needed”.
