IRELAND – The Crowe Report said members who were “disinterested” in the job were able to “get away with such behaviour” to the “frustration” of their colleagues, supervisors and managers.
The review by consultancy firm Crowe was commissioned by the gardaí amid an increased focus on road safety in Ireland in recent years.
It concluded there is currently a lack of “effective sanctions” for poor performance, with supervisors and managers “typically apprehensive” that any attempt to sanction a garda would create industrial relations problems with the Garda Representative Association (GRA).
‘It’s devastating to us’
Assistant commissioner for roads policing Paula Hilman described the findings as “stark” and said it made for “difficult reading”.
Ms Hilman said the findings of the report is also “devastating” to Garda colleagues.
