Earlier today on the Claire Byrne Show, reporter Alex Rowley revealed that Gardaí missed their target of 75 new Roads Policing Gardaí in 2024, and have also missed their new target of 150 members going into the unit in 2025

Just 79 Gardaí have been appointed, which included just 23 in 2024 and 56 last year. That’s a shortfall of 71 gardai.

This comes after an increase in road deaths in 2025 which saw 188 people lose their lives on our roads
