There are “inefficiencies” in the garda operational policing model structure across the country, which means it is “not working well”, Garda Commissioner Justin Kelly has admitted.

At the Police and Community Safety Authority monthly meeting, Mr Kelly said there were many disagreements within the structure over who is dealing with the various crimes that take place, as well as issues in road traffic policing.
