Large amounts of cash and drugs in Garda stores putting staff at risk, report finds 

Review said 'holding of large quantities of cash, drugs, firearms and ammunition presents a significant risk'.

Unnecessarily large amounts of cash are being kept in Garda exhibit stores and most fridges containing forensic exhibits and firearms are full, the Garda Inspectorate has said.

A review of an inspection the body carried out 10 years ago said one exhibit manager expressed fears for their safety because of the value of exhibits, including cash, held in storage.
