Concern as 87 gardai currently suspended for 'theft, drugs, assault' and other offences

Almost 50 gardai are on suspension for over a year.

And in total, there are 87 serving gardai currently on suspension, with three of these suspended for five years or more, according to figures from the Department of Justice.

The suspension details come after the Irish Mirror reported last month about the offences suspended gardai have been caught for.
