The Policing Authority Review of Public Order Policing has been published today. The Authority’s review was provided to then Minister Helen McEntee in August 2024. It was conducted following a Ministerial request in November 2023. It is not a review of the policing of events on 23 November, but rather a review of the state of public order policing in the Garda Síochána generally. Read the review here policingauthority.ie/en/news…
