There has been a"real societal change" in aggression towards members of An Garda Síochána, according to the Garda Representative Association.
Speaking on RTÉ's This Week programme, Gda McCarthy said attacks on gardaí are becoming a"more and more common occurence". Gda McCarthy also highlighted the issue of recruitment and said there was a promise of 1,000 gardaí last year and"only 24 recruits graduated two weeks ago."Speaking earlier on the same programme, Mr Martin had said the Government will give"very strong consideration" to calls for a taskforce to be set up regarding assaults on gardaí and other members of frontline services, including those working in transport.
"We have to stand very strongly behind our gardaí as they go about protecting our citizens," he added.
