The chairperson of the Policing and Community Safety Authority has described as "shocking" a report which shows that a substantial number of gardaí assigned to Roads Policing are not doing their jobs and have no interest in doing them.

The Garda Commissioner has promised to publish the Crowe Report which also shows that gardaí who were not carrying out their duties did not care that they were being monitored, and that their managers were not dealing with the problem.

Drew Harris called their actions "brazen and contemptuous" and the report's conclusions "sobering". The disturbing details in the report emerged on the day that the gardaí launched another of its road safety campaigns.

An independent review of roads policing was launched after a garda whistleblower informed garda headquarters that a substantial number of the gardaí tasked with policing the roads were not doing their jobs.

For more on this, Derrick Lynch was joined by Fianna Fáil Cllr Clare Colleran Molloy’s who’s brother was killed in an accident and Helga Himmelsbach, Ballyvaughan resident, whose husband Jeremiah O’Connor lost his life when his motorcycle collided with the car of a French tourist in July of last year.
