Irish justice minister weighs inquiry into defective garda holsters after detective's murder

Minister for Justice Jim O'Callaghan will consider a public inquiry into allegedly defective gun holsters issued to gardaí, following pressure from the family of murdered Detective Colm Horkan. The holsters may have contributed to the detective's death, but the claim is unverified and the inquiry is only under consideration. This marks a potential shift toward formal accountability in the Gardaí's equipment procurement.
