Gardai face prosecution over May Day riots


12:42 Thursday September 19th 2002

Six Gardai could face prosecution for their part in riots in Dublin during this year's May bank-holiday weekend. They were filmed using batons on anti-globalisation protestors and now, according to the Evening Herald newspaper, a report on the case is about to be sent to the Director of Public Prosecutions, recommending charges. The news comes just days ahead of another anti-globalisation protest in Dublin city centre. Another protest has been organised for this Sunday, the same day as the All Ireland football championships and Dublin's participation in European Car Free day. This time however, Gardai say they are much better prepared for the demonstration.
