THE SENIOR GARDA leading Ireland’s fight against white collar crime has described as “crazy” the system currently in place to investigate firms suspected of engaging in questionable practices.
Detective Chief Superintendent Pat Lordan told
The Journal that his unit needs more gardaí, more resources and a united front with other enforcement agencies.
Lordan, the lead officer in the Garda National Economic Crime Bureau and one of the force’s most senior investigators, believes part of the problem is a lack of staff.
