While I do not wish to comment on particular court cases, it is important that Members recognise that gardaí put their lives on the line daily on our behalf. The poster campaign on which the Garda Representative Association has embarked displays the horrific injuries many members have suffered over the years while on duty. Consequently, it is important that Members should send out a strong message that they do not condone assaults in any circumstance on members of the Garda Síochána.
