As if our @AGSI_Ireland @gardainfo colleagues haven’t enough challenges.A Garda member stands on duty, lawfully doing his job..an elected representative falsely accuses him of providing private security,uses his image & subjects him to on line abuse. This is so very wrong!

Sorry now and not to harp on about this (I will, actually). It is interesting that the same police force who can't enforce anything they are asked to do for public good is well able to produce riot squads, helicopters, and now it seems private security for capitalist interests 🤔

Don’t agree with headline here ⁦ @IrishTimes ⁩ - here are my ⁦ @AGSI_Ireland ⁩ & ⁦ @gardarep ⁩ colleagues trying to prevent two groups of protesters from clashing with EACH OTHER while Gardai doing their best in very difficult circumstances

Important and welcome clarity from @EOBroin this afternoon which will be communicated to our @AGSI_Ireland members in my address to them tomorrow.

Very positive phone conversation with @antoabs of @AGSI_Ireland today I stressed it was not my intention to offend, criticise or drag An Garda Síochána into a political controversy My intention was solely to highlight the issue of homelessness/evictions & criticise Govt policy

Totally agree with ⁦ @willieodeaLIVE ⁩ who said we must recognise that the garda recruitment figures set six years ago are no longer realistic…we have fewer gardaí on the streets…⁦recruitment plans haven’t been achieved..⁦ @AGSI_Ireland

Great clarity by @RTE_PrimeTime in establishing from @DonnellyStephen that additional Garda powers to police and enforce some of the COViD 19 regulations will require legislation to be passed by Government....Government not due to sit again until Sept 15th 🤷‍♂️ @AGSI_Ireland @GRA_NR

Terrible sad news coming from Clonmel…Gardaí have said "initial indications" are that a number of people have died. Some of those in the car are said to be students who received their Leaving Cert result. Thinking of their families & our @AGSI_Ireland @gardarep at the scene
