The general secretary of the GRA has said it is not likely to take court proceedings aimed at stopping the transfer to Dublin of five gardaí criticised by the Morris tribunal report.
It is reported that the Donegal branch of the GRA has demanded that such a case be taken by the national organisation.
However, PJ Stone said such a case was unlikely to succeed, and the GRA would not be taking it.
He said the gardaí concerned were still going through the internal appeals process, which could result in them being allowed remain in their current positions.
Garda report 'nothing new'
Details of the Garda investigation into the activities of gardaí in Donegal, published in today's Irish Times, have been described as 'nothing new'.
The report was written by now Garda Commissioner Noel Conroy and sent to the Government in August of 2000.
It sets out in detail a number of serious allegations, conclusions and recommendations arising from the events in the 1990s.
The Government did not set up the Morris Tribunal inquiry into these matters until May 2002, nearly two years later.
Spokespeople for Ministers Michael McDowell and John O'Donoghue said the details disclosed today were not new.
Those ministers have previously maintained that it was not possible to set up an inquiry until 2002 because to have done so would have prejudiced pending civil and criminal cases.
But opposition parties have described the information revealed today as damning.
Labour's Brendan Howlin said it was now beyond doubt that then Minister for Justice, Mr O'Donoghue and then Attorney General Mr McDowell had extensive knowledge of the scale and serious nature of garda abuses when they were obstructing calls from Labour and others for an inquiry.
The Green Party and Fine Gael have demanded that both ministers clarify what they knew, and when.
