Disciplinary rules for young Gardaí
Coogan asked the Minister to review the rules governing the disciplinary dismissal of young Gardaí. Cooney said the regulations were under constant review and available to Garda representative bodies, which could seek amendments.
In view of what it costs taxpayers to train a garda and as so many young gardaí are discharged, would the Minister examine the position in regard to the regulations governing such matters?
Comment on this
These regulations are under constant review. They are available to the bodies representing the Gardaí at all times. These representatives are aware of what is contained in these regulations and the powers in them. If there were any defects I have no doubt these bodies would be the first to seek amendments to them.
