Garda health and safety

Summary

Senator Wilson calls for debate on Garda morale, intimidation, violence and health and safety, alongside resources and reform.

I agree with what Senator O’Donovan said about An Garda Síochána. While I would like the Leader to invite the Minister for Justice and Equality to debate the resources available and reforms, etc., the most important thing to debate is that morale is at an all-time low within An Garda Síochána and that gardaí are being subjected not only to physical violence and intimidation, but also to daily intimidation on social media. That is not acceptable. While we should debate resources, it is more important to debate health and safety issues in the force and its low morale.
