Coribb protesters hurt our economic progress

IT is certainly regrettable that members of An Garda Síochána should have made such degrading and threatening remarks to the two female protesters who were arrested while interfering with the development of the Corrib gas pipeline.

The incident has been well documented with Superintendent Gearoid Begley of Tuam carrying out a fact-finding mission.

Kieran McGann, the head of the Association of Garda Superintendents, described it as an isolated incident and that it was not indicative of An Garda Síochána.
