The Hard Shoulder
A pilot programme began a month ago, which armed Gardaí with tasers, and they haven’t yet fired them.
The programme was fast tracked because of fears over increased attacks on Gardaí and antisocial behaviour, and the pilot started with a view to a full roll out.
Jim Ryan is a retired Garda in Cork and Cathal Malone is Head of Research at Thomas Coughlan & Co Solicitors. They join Ciara to discuss.
