Before the Commissioner does so, I want to make the point that this is a serious issue. Is the feedback from gardaí that they are waiting for years to get a transfer? At times it can be difficult because a transfer may be sanctioned but there is nothing in place to allow a swap between someone from a different divisional area or with a station officer who may be from a different area. Will we see movement on this issue? We see mobility in many other areas of the Civil Service but for gardaí it seems to be very difficult.
