Olympics day 13 live updates: Ireland’s Daniel Wiffen to compete in Seine 10km, Kate O’Connor begins heptathlonSupt Liam Geraghty said the initiative sends a signal to drivers that just because they cannot see a garda on the road, “this does not mean that somebody is not watching you or that somebody is not prepared to stand up and say that is irresponsible; that is unacceptable”.
Online reports, made via a form on the Garda website, will be logged by staff at the force’s Information Services Centre and are forwarded to gardaí in the relevant area. Reporters must be prepared to provide a statement and there is no capacity to submit anonymous complaints. There have been 116 road fatalities in the State so far this year, 13 more than in the same period last year.
