This has always been a consequence of prohibition. From al capone to Pablo escobar. Infiltrating and paying off guards is considered a small expense to these drug gangs for massive returns importing and moving their product. The low wages guards get in comparison means that individuals will always get turned. As long as our government insists that the supply and sale of drugs remains in gangsters hands then they will lose control of their means to enforce those laws through corruption.
I have to get them somewhere.
Garda would never
I know a guard. She is not my friend. It was my exes sister. Apparently I was looked up on the pulse system before we got together. She looked up a home owner who was selling and used part of their history as leverage to be the one to be sold the house. Her uncle is a well known criminal. She was questioned on this and pretended she didn’t know him since she was a child. She used her powers to intimidate and for her family’s benefit. I could technically prove some of this but it would not be worth the threats and intimidation that I would suffer because of it. They are all in on it. She was caught cheating on her husband with her super. It’s a whole mess. They get away with everything. I’ve never been in trouble but I get this horrible feeling when I see them at check points, like if they don’t like the look of you they can cause trouble for you.
In a surprise to absolutely no one
Just like the CIA did in the 80s in America. It made the CIA billions, I’m sure it’s making a nice few bob garda.
How is this news. There have been rumours of this for as long as I can remember.
There were very few standing against decriminalisation and legalisation in the citizens’ assembly.
I wonder why?
Its all in d game.
Another outcome of prohibition…..
So all the busts are obviously the cops taking out competition. The corruption is unreal yet they’re allowed take part in the CA on drugs? This is insane.
Watch as an outrageously expensive inquiry trundles on for years and finds that while mistakes were made it was entirely nobody in particular’s fault.
Meanwhile some ordinary Joe with who takes a couple of whips off a joint to get a nights sleep gets a conviction and his life destroyed.
Season 9 of the Shield sounds class.
Is it any wonder so many of them want to keep certain drugs illegal? You know it’s not their love of paperwork.

Knew a few guys involved during my college days and they knew where any drug bust was happening long before it would happen
There’s corruption in the area of law enforcement?! In Ireland?!
THAT IS BRAND NEW INFORMATION!
I’m all for busting corruption but was the claim substantiated? Sounds like an easy thing to make a claim about to slow down a court case
Anyone actually read to article to see where these claims are coming from? Or is everyone just talking shite based on the headline
Can we just legalize all drugs already.
Sexual assaults, bribery, collusion with criminals, drug smuggling and not to mention that dublin feels like the wild west at the minute from the lack of gardai action.. they are just a few of the foul crimes committed by the gardai this year. A serious investigation from an external source needs to take place and get to the rooted of the criminality inside our police force. Deeply ashamed of them at the minute and I have lost a lot of respect for the guards
Sure look at who leads the Guards.
Former RUC with decades of experience overseeing loyalist drug running and murder campaigns against innocent nationalists.
You’d think John Murphy was a once off!
If you were naive.
Article behind paywall, what’s the context here? Are allegations that Gardai were importing drugs for personal use/gain or was it part of some sting or operation?
Article is pay walled.
Any actual info in it, like undercover/sting operations or just vague sensationalism?
Funny to remember only a few months ago the Gardaí’s representatives went to the Citizens’ Assembly on Drugs Use and pleaded with them not to legalise or decriminalise cannabis.
Unfortunately they are immune to accountability and this will likely be forgotten about.
Would this be why we’re the only country in Europe who didn’t move on the encrochat phone hack 100 arrested in every country but not one here in Ireland.. stank of corruption..is this the proof.
I’ve watched ‘The Guard’ as well
This is why they want them kept illegal. They control the supply.
If people hadn’t put this together before, there’s no helping them. The guards are just after bringing a case all the way to the Special Criminal Court, over the most high profile murder in the country since the civil war. And they accused a gangster of doing something that the dogs in the street knew he definitely didn’t do. They were even told by the judges that if they had charged him with the correct offence, they might have nailed him. The former chief of organised crime in the Hutchs’ back yard has been done for storing enormous quantities of drugs for the cartel.
When it comes to stamping out organised crime in Dublin, the Policía Nacional have done more than the Gardaí since this feud started. They’re utterly infiltrated.
14300 of the cunts and there’s a story nearly every week about them doing some fucked up shit or being involved. The army’s too busy raping everything in the barracks and the dail’s throwing their backs out congratulating themselves on a job well done. State of this place
i suppose thats what we call in german “arbeitserhaltungsmaßnahme”, which translates to “work preservation measure/method/scheme”
Hold on hold on, Ciara Kelly said on Newstalk today that luckily the Garda were a banal force and upholders of the peace, not like some other countries
Was Ciara wrong??
Is anyone really surprised by this? The cartels have serious resources and everyone has a price.
No wonder they are against decriminalization or legalization
Corruption in the Garda? Well colour me fucking shocked
This has been going on for years, back as far as noireen ó sulivans early career
This ain’t news
There it is, they are in on it and criminalising users all around for no good reason.
Legalise and regulate, they only started drug testing guards recently and they fought that, says it all….
Yeah this happens all the time, like, everywhere in the world. Ending the war on drugs can’t come soon enough.
Just showing you guys that nothing is changed in Ireland
All police forces do it..how on earth do people think so many drugs are available?? They all sneak through customers up peoples arses?? Nope it’s allowed in
Just last week a lad was sent to prison for 20 euros worth of weed. There was a lad on the radio last year the gardai took cannabis plants he was growing to make cannabis butter for his MS. After the guards took it from him, he said he had nothing to look forward to over Christmas other than being curled up in a chair suffering with MS and court summons..
I mean it was already criminal. Now we have these fucking gangsters making bank from the shame and suffering of others.
Hope this doesn’t affect our top 10 standing in the corruption perception index. We had some close calls over the years, still top 10 baby.

Yet another reason not to trust AGS.
Oh I’m so shocked. I really am.

[There were many hints of this, I would assume enough time has passed which has allowed tracks to be hidden](https://www.sundayworld.com/crime/irish-crime/ireland-left-behind-while-european-police-forces-hoover-up-drugs-guns-dirty-money/40378224.html)
