This morning.
Garda HQ, Phoenix Park, Dublin.
Garda Commissioner Drew Harris speaks on the measures being put in place by An Garda Síochána to maximise its ‘operational effectiveness’.
Garda Commissioner Drew Harris has written to a number of senior officers who are due to retire in the next few weeks asking them to stay on in the national interest.
Among those asked to remain working in the force is the Assistant Commissioner in charge of policing Dublin, Pat Leahy. He was due to retire at the end of this month. It is understood he has agreed to remain in his post.
Over 300 students from the Garda College Templemore are to be attested as gardaí next week and allocated to garda stations all over the country….

Preparing to come to the public’s assistance, or shooting on site?
“on site”
Not this one hopefully?
Prepare for the MI5 comments, they only want to arrest us, its all a conspiracy, jog on if you disagree etc.
Be gas now if any of those lads staying on in the National Interest end up ringing in sick
You will need to open up a number of Garda stations to house the new recurits; one hopes my local station my be reinstated…. alternatively should that desire be left wanting, here is hoping the ferrell scum that loiter on my road will be struck with “the virus”; frankly any virus will do!
Why? there are 500+ stations. So it is less than one new Garda per station.
And at a 40-hour work week they are only working less than 25% of the week.
True. Norn Iron needs him. What a shambles up there…
We don’t need him.
