A plan to meet the “policing needs” of young people and the piloting of local diversity forums to build up relationships with minority groups are among priorities for An Garda Síochána this year.

The Policing Plan 2024 also pledges the creation of a mental health “first aid” network to support the health and wellbeing of garda personnel.
