Gardai are concerned about the the lack of action taken by garda management in relation to attacks on them through social media.
Addressing the commissioner at the Garda Representative Association (GRA) annual conference yesterday evening, outgoing president Dermot O’Brien said social media has become “a new weapon to attack us with”.
He said:"This is unacceptable when outrageous allegations can be levelled at us, money offered for personal information, threats made against us with little or no action being taken by garda management. We are left powerless in the face of such social media campaigns. Action needs to be taken."
