Garda Commissioner Drew Harris has been accused of “a significant failing” through presiding over a drop in staffing roads policing units.

Following the death of Garda Kevin Flatley at a speed checkpoint in Dublin on Sunday, the Garda Commissioner said there should be a “real reset and rethink about our approach as a society to road safety”.
