Briefly

The Crowe Report revealed that some gardaí were unproductive and demotivated, which was described as 'shocking and disturbing' by Garda Commissioner Drew Harris. Although the majority were focused on improving road safety, a noticeable minority allowed a culture of unproductivity to persist. Resource issues, such as lack of access to training for roads policing, contributed to the identified problems. The interpretation of an internal performance policy hindered management from effectively managing staff performance, which frustrated both supervisors and their teams.
