      “The authority reviewed the gift registers for five Garda divisions and found just two gifts had been recorded in a six-month period last year. It said this was not credible and “there is therefore a concern that the registers are not being comprehensively completed”.

      Furthermore, Garda Headquarters has failed to publicly publish its gifts register since mid-2021, despite policy mandating that such information be made public on a regular basis.”

      So not half of the gifts accepted, half of the ones they actually declared…

      In my job(also public sector) I’m not even able to accept a bottle of wine. The Gardai anti-corruption rules are both too lenient and too unenforced.

      I worked in a restaurant in Canada for a few years. The cops there would come in for a coffee regularly enough. They were never allowed accept a free cup even if it was the end of night and we when were going to be throwning it down the sink at the end of the night.

      The rules around hospitality for most public sector workers are extremely strict. At the same time you have the Gardaí – the highest paid on average category of public servant – swanning around expecting free food and drink.

      And of course getting it, because it hasn’t ever been worth it for those licensed premises to piss off the Gardaí.

      This is part of the corruption culture that many in this sub like to pretend no longer exists in Ireland. 

      Ireland is still the greatest little country in the world if you have the right connections or know which wheels need to be greased.

      Their anti bribery training is just watching the bit from Hot Fuzz with the Romeo and Juliet tickets

      The christmas rounds of local small retail businesses for drink for the ‘christmas party’ springs to mind. But that’s more of a protection racket than gifts tbf

      Every time I bring up how woefully corrupt and unaccountable these hoods are, there are fifty numpties in the comments saying: ‘the Gards investigated themselves and found no wrongdoing’. Mugs, all the way down.

      Gardaí completely ignoring due process when it suits and benefits them? 

      I need to have a lie down.

      ‘Ah sure lookit, we have to be fair to the decent, law abiding gifts and not offend anyone.’
