“Six-year hell”: Has the battle to find 'bad cops’ in An Garda Síochána gone too far?
Published 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Description
This week, three Limerick-based gardaí accused of perverting the course of justice walked free from court after a total of 33 charges were withdrawn against them. Having endured a “six-year hell”, the gardaí now intend to commence legal action against the State. The saga has prompted fresh questions about discipline in the gardaí. Is the level of scrutiny on the guards affecting their performance and creating an atmosphere of fear and paranoia? And has the battle to weed out ‘bad eggs’ gone too far?
