An Garda Síochána: Little or no credibility left

Credibility is precious but finite. Without it, we are secondary, marginalised things, drifting in a fog of uncertainty.

In public life, it is even more precious. Without it, all relationships are shot full of holes.

Tragically, we are near that point with An Garda Síochána. Scandal after scandal, failures in administration or accountability mean that our police have little or no credibility left.
