Objections of gardaí are easy to understand

I READ with amusement Brian McCaffrey’s letter (Irish Examiner, March 1). I don’t think Mr McCaffrey is getting the point of the objection raised by the GRA and AGSI.

He asks if it takes a fully-fledged garda to make arrests and patrol disorderly conduct... Yes it does, and not someone who has trained for 120 hours.

I think the events in Dublin last Saturday have certainly answered that. Mr McCaffrey also seems to dislike the fact that gardaí like to choose where they live, like any other citizen.
