The Garda Síochána Discipline Regulations have been updated on a number of occasions since 1923 and most recently in 2007. There is nothing in these Regulations, the Garda Code, nor indeed in the Personal Insolvency Act 2012 which acts as a barrier to members of the Garda Síochána availing of debt resolution mechanisms contained in that Act.
