There Were More Than 1,750 Formal Complaints Of Alleged Garda Misconduct Last Year
They contain over 2,800 separate allegations lodged with the Garda Siochana Ombudsman Commission
That's according to new Freedom of Information figures.
There were 12 allegations of sexual offences and nearly 400 relate to abuse of authority - but only four breaches of discipline have been identified so far.
Gsoc says 2019's figures aren't conclusive at this stage - but Jim Mulligan, the president of the Garda Representative Association, notes the total number is down on 2018.
