Gardaí concerned members are flouting domestic violence order self-report policy

Gardaí have revealed that one member of the force who has a domestic violence order against them has allegedly breached the organisation’s domestic abuse policy by failing to notify the organisation.

However, there is concern that there could be other members of the force who have also flouted the policy who are unknown to An Garda Síochána.
