The Policing Authority says it has been struck by the “sustained level of success” gardaí have had against organised crime this year, including against the Kinahan cartel.

Authority Chairman Bob Collins said these gangs were a “genuine threat” to the safety and wellbeing not just of individuals caught up but of entire communities affected by their activities.
