The Boys in Black and Blue Mags Glennon Since the current Garda commissioner, Pat Byrne, took up office in 1996 thirty Gardai have been dismissed for misconduct. Internal Garda investigations of these cases are not published and they only come into the public eye if charges are laid by the DPP. Based on this alone we have seen Gardai before the courts on charges including killing a pedestrian while drunk driving, soliciting under age children for prostitution, taking bribes to drop charges, involvement in car stealing rings, giving passports to drug dealers and insurance scams. At present 70 Gardai are facing drink driving charges and no Garda has been dismissed from the force on being found guilty of drink driving. One officer, convicted in 2000 of seriously injuring a woman while three times over the limit, is now working as an armed minder for the Taoiseach.
