Some gardaí tasked with roads policing duties are “unproductive” and appear “demotivated and unconcerned” with doing an effective, professional job, a report has found.

While the independent review of Roads Policing found that a majority of gardaí involved in the work were productive and professional, it highlighted issues with poor productivity and behaviour among a “noticeable” minority.
