This year’s GRA annual conference opened in Kerry last evening, with neither the Garda Commissioner Drew Harris nor Minister for Justice Jim O’Callaghan in attendance, the second consecutive year this has happened.

To discuss this further Alan Morrissey was joined by Clare GRA representative, Garda Paul Crowley.
