Garda Mental Health Crisis

NEARLY 480 gardai were referred for psychiatric or assessment over psychological the past two years.

Stress and anxiety led to the loss of at least 11,176 working days in 2020 and 2021, according to figures.

Last year 47 members took sick leave due to a mental health issue.

That was down around 9% on 2020 when 51 officers were not able to work at some stage due to a recorded mental health illness.

Gardai said these figures were likely an underestimate of the extent of such issues as there was no specified category in their HR systems for recording these illnesses.
