Enda Kenny has promised to restore public trust in policing structures.

The Taoiseach says Fine Gael is determined to guarantee public confidence in both the Gardaí and the Garda Ombudsman.

Speaking at the Fine Gael Ard Fheis the Taoiseach said he would not allow the institutions to be undermined in the eyes of the Irish people.

And he responded to those who had tried to blame Alan Shatter and Fine Gael for the problems, saying:

“I regard the safety and security of our people as being paramount, and anyone who has tried to play politics with these issues in the last number of weeks should hang their heads in shame.”

A Millward Brown/Sunday Independent poll published today has revealed that the three main parties – Fine Gael, Labour and Fianna Fail – have all suffered significant drops in support due to the ongoing Garda whistleblower/GSCO bugging scandals. The poll also shows that Alan Shatter hass entered the list of most unpopular ministers.
