Gardai Inefficiencies

Only 13,390 Gardai, according to their own website.

For a country of its size and with a population of what about 5.3 million people as of CSO figures for 2023.

Jokeshop stuff…

It’s difficult to be efficient and effective when you’re trying to plug a 7 foot hole in a dam with your finger.

Probably why the Garda in the city didn’t want to take a complaint about my nicked phone… because realistically it was so down the list of priorities….that they knew there was SFA they could do and once logged as a crime it goes against their stats.

Organisations become inefficient when they don’t have the tools to do their jobs, and or the quality of leadership.

ha ha you ve only noticed this now ?

i ll list a few of the issues ,

AGS do jobs that they shouldn't, passports are the tip , about a third of the time is dealing with mental health issues , county council jobs like blocked roads running dogs , immigration most countries have a separate organization for that, courts collection agents, not to mention refereeing every pissy civil issue , the default setting in Ireland has always been sure call the gardai they well sort it out

incessant recording and re recording of information, pulse ims pems rsa tusla hse dpp gsoc etc etc etc

rampant political interference in policing local and nationally , do you really think helen has a clue what she is doing or is she just parroting what she is told be first leo then simon

an open naked hatred from drew harris of front line gardai and visa versa . moral is is the sh1tter and has been for about 5 or 6 years , access to easier and better jobs with more money and less stress . i ve been introduced to drew twice neither time he so much as offered an hand shake or acknowledgment of any kind , he has the manners of a dog but many many upper level managers do also

awful equipment and cars (electric patrol cars ffs) oppressive strangling choking oversight (now to include strapping a cctv camara onto everyone) zealous persecution by ambitious grubbers who want to be seen to step on a few heads on the way up.

poor numbers has the front line operating at the bare min all the time and holes covered over buy over time further exhausting those same people. 100 plus hours over time per month would not be unusual but i ve heard of people at 180 plus. and looking into a summer of violence and vitriol at protest's and public unrest with compulsory over time like next week for the football. no access to leave or time off unless out sick

sorry your pass post took so long, that is because the pass port office contact garda stations multiple times 10 to 15 a day to check the records kept there , if the numbers or names dont match t gets pulled and sent back

1500 hundred a week ? 6 grand a month ha haha 😂🤣🤣 good lad,

top of the wage scale after 20 years puts ya just over 700 a week .

Insurance companies , state bodies ,corporate private security not to mention nsw and westren oz . fire and prison service .

no one fought against random drug testing ya plonker ,it supported by gra and most honest gardai and still hasn't started

you havent a clue and just sprout bile and hatred coz its all some people can do , i forgot to ad having to deal with your sort of childish and uninformed crap

You are clearly clueless. If guards were being paid 1500 a week why would the resignation be at the highest the organisation has seen its 101? year history? Who would resign from a job/vocation on that remuneration?

You haven't mentioned overtime and additional payments, the figures of 1500 euro a week are both official and accurate.

Also they get extremely early retirement and a massive lump sum.

you understand that overtime and shift allowances are not a concept unique to AGS neither do they bring anyone's weekly wage to 1500 , and that as i already pointed out shortages are filled by the same people working extra hours, some times in crazy numbers. they should do this for free ?

30 years min now 35 years leaving some working front line roles 24 hour service until 60 plus.

your information re pensions and gratuity is about 10 years out of date . new entrants get some where between 7 and 9 grand a year after 30 years of state service. in and increasingly difficult and dangerous job with a near 100 percent change of getting assault and strong likely hood of getting hurt

how much do you think its worth given that the state invest less than one percent of gdp in keeping its people safe

Because the retention crisis happened after they began discriminating against hiring men

The terms and conditions for new recruits….they increased their pay. And also the gardai had several pay rises outside of their contract (yet more public sector pay deals), thus increasing their overall pay and increasing their future pension amounts too.

" the changes I made last year […] boosting the training allowance by 66% to €305 per week. " - H McEntee

So are you are lying or ignorant, because they're now on more not less.

once again , if you know so little why keep typing after being proved wrong again and again via links first hand experiences and common sense . drew doesn't prosecute any one he isn't even part of the many many over sight organizations, and his record for prosecuting gardai is poor at best . and quoting helen who has shown herself to be totally unsuitable and incapable of doing the job time after time is sort of worthless too
