Record number of senior gardaí to leave force
An Garda Síochána is going through what is thought to be its biggest ever management clear-out with around a fifth of its senior officers leaving this year.
The exodus is driven by a one-off Government severance package, with 36 top Garda managers having been accepted. This includes eight chief superintendents, 26 superintendents, one assistant commissioner, and one senior civilian.
