Policing boss hears of morale and facility issues for gardaí

Lack of resources, poor morale, equipment problems and, in some cases, dire accommodation are issues gardaí have pressed home to the new police oversight boss.

Policing Authority chairperson Josephine Feehily said gardaí she had met wanted to know what the new oversight body was going to do about it.

She said the authority’s primary job was to build an effective police organisation and improve public confidence in it.
