As of September 22 last there were a total of 108 members suspended from the force
They are still being paid while allegations against them are being probed by GSOC.
The length of time it is taking the Garda Ombudsman to deal with complaints is causing huge anger and stress among rank and file members.One Garda officer said: "A complaint can be made against you, you may be totally innocent and then you are suspended for years while the matter is dealt with at snails pace by GSOC."
The Garda Representative Association has continually complained to GSOC, the Garda Commissioner Drew Harris and the Government on the issue but their representations have fallen on deaf ears.But she also disclosed that 18 Gardai are also currently suspended for 3-4 years, 20 for 2/3 years, 37 for 1-2 years and 27 for less than a year.
"In other cases discipline investigations are ongoing or the case may be subject to a hearing before a Board of Inquiry or Appeal Board which all impact on suspensions."The suspended member is informed of the availability of the Garda Employee Assistance Service and given contact details by a Liaison Officer.
"Upon suspension the member is served with a notice which sets out the conditions attached to the suspension and the entitlements or otherwise of the suspended member."
