Garda Síochána ‘over-promising, under-delivering’

The Policing Authority has said that An Garda Síochána is repeatedly “over-promising and under-delivering” with respect to reforming the force.

In the seventh and final progress report on the implementation of 2015 Changing Policing in Ireland programme, the authority said that while “pockets of the Garda Síochána have demonstrated a real appetite for change”, the absence of a strategic vision for the organisation in key areas has “bedevilled the implementation of change”.
