Time ripe to radically reform gardaí

NOT surprisingly, the overwhelming reaction of the public at large to the second Morris report on the nefarious activities of the gardaí in Donegal has been one of deep shock.

In particular, Justice Minister Michael McDowell has come in for criticism, and rightly so.
