Policing Authority wants ‘fundamental flaws’ tackled

An Garda Síochána’s flagship plan to modernise the organisation will not deliver the goods unless management addresses the “fundamental flaws” preventing its implementation, the Policing Authority has said.

In its fifth report to the Minister for Justice, the authority says the Garda’s Modernisation and Renewal Programme is not costed and that the necessary resources have not been provided to ensure it can actually be carried out.
