Policing Authority calls for Gardaí to respond to report findings

The Policing Authority has expressed 'deep unease at the organisation and management culture' in the Garda Síochána.

The New Independent Policing Authority has delivered a deeply critical appraisal of An Garda Síochána, expressing “serious concern” at its treatment of victims, “dismay at the familiarity of performance failures”, and “deep unease at the organisation and management culture” within the force, writes Daniel McConnell.

Following a four hour meeting with Garda Commissioner Noirín O'Sullivan, the authority released a lengthy statement on Thursday night.
