Garda Inspectorate report published on transnational organised crime

The Minister for Justice Helen McEntee published the Garda Síochána Inspectorate’s report - ’Transnational Organised Crime – A Review of the Structures, Strategies and Processes in the Garda Síochána.’

The report acknowledges the considerable success An Garda Síochána has had in targeting high-profile crime groups and seizing large volumes of drugs and other criminal assets.

It also makes recommendations to An Garda Síochána, the Department of Justice and other agencies to further address the threat posed by and the impact of organised criminal networks.

Speaking today Minister McEntee said:

"I would like to thank and commend the work done by the Garda Síochána Inspectorate in producing this report on transnational organised crime.

"It also highlights areas for further improvement and I look forward to working closely with An Garda Síochána and officials in my department in this regard."

The Garda National Drugs and Organised Crime Bureau (GNDOCB) leads in tackling all forms of drug trafficking and the supply of illicit drugs in Ireland. Since 2019 the GNDOCB have seized approximately €390 million worth of drugs, with further seizures this year. Given the global nature of the drugs trade, international law enforcement co-operation is a critical element in the overall response.

The report is available at: Garda Inspectorate Inspection Report on Transnational Organised Crime.
