How about a commitment to engage with and listen to existing frontline Gardaí, get the basics right and retain existing experienced trained members rather than promising recruitment that will never materialise as long as the system is #KeepingCriminalsSafe
Incoming government pledges to recruit at least 5,000 new Garda recruits and additional Garda staff over the next five years.

"officers are trained to use strong language to gain control and ensure compliance. It's called command presence, not rudeness—something that no desk-bound critic with zero exposure to the chaos of real-life confrontations on the Thin Blue Line could ever hope to grasp"

Having spent the whole of Christmas sharing a 10 yr old patrol car between 3 stations it's good to know where the money allocated by government is actually going.
An Garda Síochána has spent almost €20m on consultancy services since 2019 for "priority" reform project

Moving personnel and leaving a gap somewhere else are not additional resources, it's changing the location of chronic understaffing and placing extra demands on the same group of workers.

I've lost count of the number of people in senior positions I've had private conversations with recently who previously would have considered my observations and comments to be overly negative but are now in agreement that the job is in a particularly precarious position.

Carrying out dangerous manoeuvres at speed on crowded urban streets without helmets but only one group of drivers dread the consequences of being anywhere in the vicinity when what was inevitably going to happen happens.
There is a constant show of bikers pulling wheelies in what has been described to me by a local youth as “They are the distraction for the Garda away from the dealers”..Here they are in action causing very dangerous disruption on a daily basis in Summerhill..

“Young guards standing on Malahide Rd dodging rocks with no protective clothing and not being trained...the organisation has learned nothing since November, they could have issued them with helmets

@Tony22123243 Thank You Tony, frontline policing brings a perspective that has to be experienced to be properly understood. It’s very challenging but it used to be rewarding and satisfying, unfortunately the lack of support and attacks from so many quarters has changed it completely.
