Garda fraud unit is still short of up to 50 detectives 

The units charged with tackling complex economic crimes, corruption, and fraud are short of garda detectives, and also civilian staff such as forensic accountants. 

An Garda Síochána’s top fraud unit is still short of up to 50 detective gardaí it has sought as far back as 2018.

The Irish Examiner understands the Garda National Economic Crime Bureau (GNECB) currently has 37 detective gardaí and is awaiting up to 50 additional detective gardaí, which it said was to fill vacancies.
