Priorities for Garda Inspectorate: Discussion

9:00 am

Ms Éimear Fisher:

In Changing Policing in Ireland we noted that 43% of the fleet was unmarked, and our view was that a higher percentage of the fleet should be marked. In a simple way, and I know it is expensive to deliver cars and so on, that would encourage people to know there is a Garda car in the area, even if they are not engaging.
