The Policing Authority has expressed exasperation at the continuing improper cancellation of 999 calls despite the “intense focus” on the problem and efforts by Garda HQ to address it.

The authority said the ongoing issues were of “serious concern” and some of the incidents were identified as “very high risk”. It said it would question the Garda Commissioner in public about it next Thursday.
