Exclusive: The K District task force could be disbanded under controversial roster changes
Former Miss Ireland Claudine Keane has said she will be "surprised" if the unit behind the stars of Virgin Media’s Inside the K is disbanded under controversial roster changes.
Claudine, whose father, Denis Palmer, is a former member of An Garda Siochana, said shows like Inside the K are incredibly important as it shows the "hard work the guards do on a daily basis." "It was a groundbreaking case, the first of its kind in Ireland. I found that episode so incredibly important.
We also revealed that the Ballymun street crime unit — which is one sergeant and four gardai — is also going in north Dublin, while in nearby Santry, there will no longer be a frontline policing response. But the Commissioner is intent on officers working six days on and four off — as opposed to the current emergency Covid roster of four days on and four off.
