Commissioner’s comment insensitive

THE continued failure of the top management of the police to take responsibility for the negligence surrounding the death of John Carthy in Abbeylara indicates how arrogant and out of touch the force is with the public.

The role of senior police in the tragedy has exposed the mindset of the force.

The appalling comment by the police commissioner, in which he defended the ERU and likened the tragedy to an act of terrorism, must be deplored.
