Garda unrest - Discipline in doubt

The garda who confronted Taoiseach Enda Kenny while canvassing in Meath East was not in uniform.

He reportedly remained calm and polite throughout the chance meeting. He stressed that he felt that the salaries of gardaí were being unfairly reduced.

In response, the Taoiseach criticised the Garda Representative Association and the Association of Garda Sergeants and Inspectors for walking out on pay talks.
