"The resource issue was definitely part of it." Luke Staines, whose great-grandfather was the first Garda Commissioner, left the gardaí three years in after becoming disillusioned with the organisation. Watch the full report on Thursday at 9.35pm on RTÉ One. #rtept | RTÉ News

@rtenews Alot of parallels with Irish Healthcare. Sad to see committed young Gardai disillusioned and leaving a job they enjoyed, adding value to society

@rtenews More prisons, harsher sentences and invest heavily in recruiting more Gardai and providing them with the tools to do their job. The states primary objective is the security of its citizens.

@rtenews Management and senior civil servants destroying the public service. No accountability and an arrogance that is breathtaking. What a brave young man. Another courageous hero lost to another profession

@rtenews Could he not have went to a different Garda station to view it. I’m not buying this. There’s something very manipulative going on here.

@rtenews No thanks ffg tv.

@rtenews ...I loved working in the Gardai when I was able to swan around off my granddad's name but then when I was doing normal Garda stuff I became disillusioned...

@rtenews Would that be O’Duffy, the Nazi founder of Fine Gael?

@rtenews What's the point in arresting people when you know the courts will let them go, sentences are a waste of time and that there are zero prison spaces anyway. It used to be a career to be proud of. I'd rather work for Dyno-Rod. At least that way I'd know I'm getting shit done 🤷‍♂️
