Homes of Gardaí raided as part of probe into claims that members of the force aiding drugs gang https://jrnl.ie/5562077

Surprised this isn't getting more air time, senior retired Guard has been arrested and 3 others have had their houses raised which resulted in finds of cannabis and cash.

RTE news : Questioning of retired garda in crime probe continuing

http://www.rte.ie/news/crime/2021/1003/1250486-garda/

Still in custody, have a feeling this could be just the tip of the iceberg.

If it's who I think it is, it's a big tip.

Fair play to the current crop. Doing a very difficult job.

Really?

Would you like to point out what his appointment has to do with any of this?

Charged and named: RTE news : Ex-garda superintendent charged over cannabis seizure

Pardon my ignorance, but given this is (as far as I know) unprecedented, is the granted bail thing considering the gangland connections wise? Possibly a lot of nervous people now who may want to make sure he doesn't cooperate too much.

This is potentially massive, lord only knows how deep this goes into AGS, a force which I very much traditionally admired may I add.

Are you for real? He is obviously leading a reform agenda.

I love there way these threads are always full of people going "I always trusted the guards before this".

Some of you must have lived a rather sheltered existence.

If you Google that named retired superintendent (as named by the RTE report) there is a story in the Indo about a party in the Aviva for a retiring superintendent, with the same name, who was aged 50 in 2010.

Great job by the Gardai weeding out corruption in the force. Well done.

Do you think the commissioner was the head Investigator 😂

No. But he sets the tone for the culture of AGS and has publically prioritised dealing with corruption from early on in his tenure.

Yep, retired more then ten years ago

Ya wtf, and how is 2010 recent? No-one batted an eyelid that I public servant was having their birthday/ retirement party in a football stadium attended by "hundreds" of friends, family and colleagues?? Including Larry Mullen, Ann Doyle, Lisa Murphy and Gerald Kean????

I'm not sure what his friends have to do with it?

Is there some reason a guard shouldn't be friends with those people?

Lillyfae

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117974884#Comment_117974884

I'm not saying he shouldn't be friends with them, but in retrospect the whole scenario seems quite suspicious.

I'm not sure there is any suggestion that this was happening when he was in AGS.

Not that that makes it right!

Lillyfae

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117975044#Comment_117975044

There's no suggestion that it happened after he left AGS. When do you think this was happening? Do you think he retired from the Gardaí to dedicate all of his time to being a drug dealer??

[Deleted User]

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117975111#Comment_117975111

Of course it happened in the last few years!

They literally just found the drugs in his possession the other day.

Like I said, I doubt he's just started this recently- this is probably just the first time he's been caught.

Yeah, I don't know, it's quite possible he's been at it for years, it will be interesting....

Gerald Keane & Lisa Murphy! Now there's a blast from the past! I'm sure all those celebs will rally round him now.

Gone from the job ten years. LOL, the way this story was blown up I thought it was someone far more recent.

Maybe that was the intention, I thought it was someone more recent too.

Well they had said he was early 60's.most guards retire early 50's after 30 years service.
