The body representing frontline Gardaí has described a move to cut overtime as ‘unprecedented’.
The man in charge of policing in Dublin – Assistant Commissioner Pat Leahy – has told senior managers there’s not enough money to pay overtime for the rest of the year.
However he says the operation targeting the Hutch-Kinahan feud and policing at Dublin port are not affected.
President of the GRA Ciaran O’ Neill says its like giving the criminals an early Christmas present.
