Gardaí concerned foot is being 'taken off the pedal' ahead of Brexit

Frontline garda representatives along the border are concerned the foot is being “taken off the pedal” in preparing for Brexit.

There is concern that while the Garda Northern Region – which stretches from Donegal to Louth – received a contingent of 49 probationers in the last recruitment batch that less than half that number are expected to be sent there in the next allocation in June.
