The Garda Inspectorate is to review the way gardaí handle domestic abuse reports. A spokesperson said: “The inspectorate intends to conduct an inspection of the Garda Síochána response to reports of domestic abuse. The inspection will examine and investigate how the Garda Síochána manage and investigate the reporting of an incident of domestic abuse. She added: “I don’t think domestic abuse among serving gardaí is more widespread than they are prepared to admit. As a result, there were fewer flags on the Pulse system that certain people were at risk of domestic violence.
