The image, an artwork by the visual artist Mála Spíosraí, also known as Spicebag, is a reworked painting by renowned Cork artist Daniel MacDonald (1821-1853) of an eviction taking place during the Famine.
On Monday afternoon, as Agsi members prepared to meet for their Annual General Conference, Mr Ó Broin said he has a “very positive” conversation with Ms Cunningham in which he “stressed it was not my intention to offend, criticise or drag An Garda Síochána into a political controversy.
He reissued the image in recent days, as the Government’s moratorium on no-fault evictions lapsed on Saturday. She said the mood of Agsi members is very low and is not being helped by what she said was Drew Harris’s refusal to engage internally on rosters.
