PSNI vehicle carrying Harris damaged by security bollards
The Commissioner, who previously served as the PSNI’s Deputy Chief Constable, is accompanied by armed officers at all times on both sides of the Border.
On March 25th, Mr Harris was driven to the Border by armed PSNI officers in a specially reinforced, unmarked Range Rover which was met at the border by a Garda ERU vehicle.When the vehicles arrived at headquarters, a garda at the security kiosk allowed the ERU vehicle to enter. However she didn’t recognise the unmarked Range Rover which had a Northern registration plate.
Gardaí have refused to comment on the matter except to confirm an incident on March 25th. “However for operational reasons we won’t be commenting further,” a spokesman said.It is not the first time PSNI protection officers have accompanied the commissioner south of the Border, according to senior sources. Close protection officers have accompanied Mr Harris to his office on several occasions.
“This raises a series of questions about why standard procedure was abandoned, whether the Gardaí on duty at the Phoenix Park were informed of this and if not, why not?”The heightened security required for Mr Harris has created several headaches for him and the Garda since he took up the post six months ago.
