Members of the Carlow/Kilkenny Branch of AGSI who quietly withdrew from conference during Minister Shatter and Commissioner Callinan’s address. The silent withdrawal took place as a result of a mandate from their Branch members. Following a meeting with the Assistant Commissioner all four members stated publicly that they meant to cause no offence to the Commissioner. They personally have full confidence in the Commissioner of An Garda Síochána and they also stated that he enjoys the full confidence of the Association of Garda Sergeants and Inspectors.
