The Irish Times view on the report on roads policing: a matter of life and death
The Crowe report into Roads Policing, commissioned by An Garda Síochána and published yesterday , makes for grim reading. At a time when road deaths have been rising, it paints a picture of an essential policing function hampered by weak management, inadequate resources and, in some quarters, a worrying absence of professional commitment. The review found striking disparities in productivity between divisions, with some officers recording twice as many 'Lifesaver' detections - speeding, intoxicated driving, mobile phone use, and failure to wear seat belts – as others. While many gardaí in the Roads Policing Units are described as dedicated and effective, a minority are openly disengaged, sometimes to the point of disabling equipment or avoiding patrols altogether. Underlying this, according to the report, is a flawed interpretation of the Garda's Performance, Accountability and Learning Framework (PALF), which is seen as preventing supervisors from monitoring individual performance. This, combined with fear of industrial relations fallout, has created a culture in which poor work habits go unchallenged. The operational picture is equally troubling. Too much time is devoted to static checkpoints – often close to base and at predictable times – leaving remote areas under-patrolled and missing opportunities for intelligence-led enforcement. Vehicles and vital equipment are often outdated. READ MORE These are not minor management quibbles; they are matters of life and death on the country's roads, and of public confidence in policing. The report recommends a transformation plan addressing supervision, staffing, training, equipment and operational priorities, led by a senior officer. When new Garda Commissioner Justin Kelly takes up office in September, he cannot let this report gather dust. Acting swiftly on its recommendations will be essential both to reversing the rise in road fatalities and to restoring public faith in the professionalism of the force. On the evidence presented, delay would not just be damaging – it would be dangerous.

Ian Walsh murder investigation shifts focus to social media accounts
Gardaí investigating the murder of Irish Rail worker Ian Walsh are examining his social media activity for potential clues as to who killed him at his home over the bank holiday weekend. Detectives have spent more than 100 hours trawling a number of platforms to establish if he had arranged online to meet someone over the weekend only for the encounter to turn violent. Garda believe the lack of any sign of forced entry at Mr Walsh's house suggests he either knew his killer or felt no threat admitting the person, or people, to his property in Carrick-on Suir, Co Tipperary. Mr Walsh, a 49-year-old single man who lived alone, was found dead at around 3.30am on August 4th by gardaí. They were carrying out a check at the two-story property at Ravenswood, off the Cregg Road, after being contacted by his family who were concerned for his welfare. READ MORE A native of Waterford, Mr Walsh used to travel to Waterford city a couple of time a week to visit his mother, Breda Forristal, at her home on Barrack Street. When he failed to visit her over the bank holiday weekend, family members became concerned. Ian Walsh worked at Cork Kent railway station Mr Walsh was found in the downstairs bathroom of the semidetached house in Ravenswood after suffering multiple stab wounds. He was pronounced dead at the scene, where his body remained until it was examined by State Pathologist Dr Yvonne McCartney. Garda technical experts spent several days carrying out a forensic examination of the house which they hope will yield DNA and other evidence. It is understood the murder weapon was not found in the house and the garda search for whatever was used to stab Mr Walsh subsequently moved to the river Suir, 1.5km away. Garda divers have carried out an extensive search more than one kilometre of the riverbed. Gardaí are continuing to examine hundreds of hours of CCTV footage from homes in the Ravenswood and Cregg Road area as well as from commercial premises in Carrick-on-Suir town centre and approach roads into the town.

Plenty of blame to go around for serious failings highlighted in roads policing report
On Thursday morning, a row of gleaming 2025-registered Garda patrol cars sat in front of the Officer's Club in Garda Headquarters in the Phoenix Park. Loaded with technology and painted in the new Roads Policing Unit (RPU) livery, the cars were presumably there for the benefit of press cameras that had come to document the launch of the Crowe report on serious and widespread failings in roads policing. While the RPU's ageing vehicle fleet was one of the issues flagged in the report, a much bigger issue is a 'noticeable minority' of traffic gardaí seem to have little interest in doing their job. Some sit in their cars all day, before returning to the station having failed to detect a single road-traffic offence. Others do not want to drive too far from the station for fear they will have to pay for their own lunch or coffee. READ MORE What's more, these gardaí made no effort to hide their disdain from the consultants sent from Garda Headquarters specifically to evaluate their work. In effect, the Crowe report found a significant cohort hated their job and didn't care who knew it. All of this was taking place under the noses of supervisors and managers who were fully aware of their subordinates' shortcomings but either could not or would not take any action. The report was commissioned by Garda Headquarters in 2023 at a time when road deaths were climbing to their highest in a decade, bucking a trend of declining numbers in almost every other EU country. [ Death on Irish roads: Why have so many people been killed in crashes this year? Opens in new window ] On Thursday, Deputy Commissioner Shawna Coxon and Assistant Commissioner for Roads Policing Paula Hilman refused to be drawn on whether the RPU's failings played a role in this increase in road deaths. Coxon pointed to a decrease in road deaths in the latter half of 2024 following the introduction of new Garda policies. If we accept good policies save lives, it stands to reason poor policies cost lives. A total of 184 people died on Irish roads in 2023, 29 per cent higher than the pre-pandemic average. There is plenty of blame to go around. The minority of RPU gardaí who seem to go out of their way to avoid doing their job no doubt bear significant responsibility. These are gardaí who go through competitions and training courses to get roles in the RPU, only to treat the job with contempt once there. They not only fail the public but have a devastating effect on the morale of the gardaí who do care about their jobs. Just as much blame must go to the supervisors and managers who, according to the report, 'are shying away from proactive management and from confronting poor performance'. They blame the Garda's performance, accountability and learning framework, an internal policy that they interpreted as preventing them from monitoring the performance of individual gardaí. 'In effect, this is significantly frustrating the right of management to manage,' the report states. There is ample blame left over for the more senior ranks, including Hilman, Coxon and Commissioner Drew Harris, who retires in two weeks. Ultimately, they are responsible for ensuring the unit has the resources and policies to do its job effectively. [ Justin Kelly named as new Garda Commissioner to succeed Drew Harris Opens in new window ] [ The changing Irish drugs trade: rocketing cocaine prices, gangs growing closer and Irish middlemen in Colombia Opens in new window ] RPU numbers are down 40 per cent on 2009, despite a massive increase in the number of cars on the road. Their vehicles are approaching the end of their lifespans and some gardaí are being transferred into the unit without knowing how to drive them. Harris points out that millions have been invested in the unit in recent years. But it is clear that without a fundamental shift in culture, including empowering managers to discipline work-shy gardaí, the problems outlined in the Crowe report will persist indefinitely.
