Garda members issued with gag order over station closures
The directive tells gardaí they are “forbidden to communicate” with public representatives or anyone with a view to lobbying them or influencing them about the closure of stations, the Irish Examiner understands.
The clampdown comes as unconfirmed estimates from reputable sources claim up to 100 Garda stations may be shut down in the next tranche of closures, in addition to the 39 closed this year.
