What a sad day in Irish history. A routine stop by a traffic corp Gard, leaves him in hospital with gunshot wounds. The young Gard stopped the car because he had an inkling that it could have been stolen. He was right, but how was he to know they would be carrying a weapon.
Have we finally got to a stage in this country where shotting or killing a Gard is tought to be meaningless by these thugs? There was a time when murdering a Gard held a sentence of death. Now it seems, a Gards life is just another obstacle in our criminal’s minds.
