One garda a day becoming insolvent: GRA

One garda a day is becoming insolvent, others have lost their homes through bankruptcy, and many more have become so disillusioned with the job and the country that they are planning to resign or emigrate.

The knock-on effect, according to the organisation which represents the country’s 11,300 rank-and-file gardaí, is that the public will suffer because the thin blue line is becoming skeletal and more under-resourced every day.

Garda Representative Association bosses say that those worst hit financially are in the 28-34 age group.
