Photographing gardaí on duty - Ban idea is Orwellian step too far

The assertion yesterday by Charlie Flanagan, the minister for justice and equality, that he would be “favourable to the idea that it could be made illegal to photograph a garda on duty” is so wrong on so many levels that he must clarify the statement.

If he confirms that is his position then Taoiseach Leo Varadkar is obliged to say whether this idea represents Government policy or not.
