100 gardai will be equipped with taser stun guns.

A new pilot programme is launching this week in which 100 gardai will be equipped with taser stun guns.  This new proposal from Justice Minister O’Callaghan will argue that currently frontline gardaí have “limited tactical options” in potentially violent encounters. So, will this be supported by members of an Garda Síochána? All to discuss with Tara McManus, Assistant General Secretary of the Garda Representative Association.
