Mr. Slevin spoke about low morale. I put this question to the Garda Commissioner last week. From meeting rank-and-file gardaí right up to inspectors and superintendents in my constituency, I know morale is in fact quite low. To be frank, I was not happy with the Commissioner’s response. Mr. Slevin mentioned denial, low morale and continuing associated issues. Arising from that, how can we improve morale in An Garda Síochána? What would Mr. Slevin recommend the State do to improve morale?
