Recent Controversies Concerning An Garda Síochána

9:00 am

Ms Nóirín O'Sullivan:

Some of the divisional policing activity targets were related to traffic and the purpose was to reduce deaths on the roads. To the best of my knowledge and in my experience, they were not related to personal or individual performance, but were related to the objective to reduce fatal and serious traffic accidents on the roads.

Every policing plan, at district, local, divisional and regional levels, would have activity-based targets. The traffic pillar would have been aimed at reducing road deaths and increasing compliant behaviour. I am certainly not aware of any target set related to performance, certainly not in my experience.
