Drew Harris: Urgent meeting on Garda reforms

Garda Commissioner Drew Harris has summoned local commanders to a meeting in the Garda College, Templemore, next Monday on his new policing plan.

The urgent meeting follows serious concerns being expressed by associations representing the entire ranks of local management, from sergeants to chief superintendent, about the contents of the plan and what they say is a complete lack of consultation about it. Chief superintendents will meet the commissioner in the morning and superintendents in the afternoon.
