Public’s faith in garda bosses falls

The public’s faith in the management of An Garda Síochána has taken a battering, with the succession of controversies since the start of the year.

But overall trust in gardaí remains high, a survey shows.

A garda-commissioned survey, conducted between April and June of 2017, shows that only 37% of people believe the organisation is well-managed — compared to 45% of people surveyed between September and December last year.
