A Garda watchdog has raised serious concerns about the force’s ability to deal with gardaí who abuse their power for sexual gain.
A new report by the Garda Inspectorate on the threat of internal corruption has highlighted a number of weaknesses in An Garda Síochána’s procedures for addressing serious incidents involving its members.
This includes conflicts of interest, post-employment activities, interactions with journalists, and drug use.
