A motion at the Garda Representative Association's conference calls on Garda Commissioner Drew Harris to introduce regular in-person refresher self-defence training for every member to combat rising attacks

Frontline gardai believe the use of tasers would see the soaring assaults on their members fall dramatically.

President of the GRA Brendan O’Connor told the Irish Mirror: “We would use Tasers as a huge part of addressing the number of assaults on our members. The GRA, which represents nearly 13,000 rank-and-file gardai, will hear from its President O’Connor that there is never an excuse for attacks to be waged against frontline emergency workers.
