The policing authority, the ombudsman/GSOC, justice dept and DPP’s office consistently shield high-ranking gardaí from accountability and prosecution. Rather than serving as genuine oversight bodies, they operate as politically appointed organisations that provide a false appearance of regulation while taking no meaningful action against serving corrupt and criminal senior gardai. Senior gardai, GSOC, policing authority, justice dept and the DPP’s office are protecting, corrupt, rapists and paedophiles in An Garda Siochana, still in 2026? Chief Supt Colette Quinn is married to Garda Darragh Kennedy. Garda Darragh Kennedy admitted to possessing child abuse material on his computer at Garda Headquarters in Phoenix Park. When Gardaí executed a search warrant at Chief Supt Colette Quinn residence for child pornography images, Chief Supt Colette Quinn verbally abused the Garda officers and refused them entry. Due to Chief Supt Colette Quinns close personal relationship with Garda Commissioner Pat Byrne and his wife at the time, she was never prosecuted or disciplined for obstructing the search. Especially as she worked up in Garda HQ in the officer’s mess, looking after all the high ranking garda requests. Prior to Darragh Kennedy joining An Garda Síochána, Kennedy from Stillorgan in Dublin, worked for years as a swimming instructor at the Glenalbyn swimming pool in Stillorgan, Co Dublin teaching young children how to swim and watching them while they swam in the pool and changed in the dressing rooms. Kennedy was schooled in Coláiste Eoin in Stillorgan, Co Dublin. After joining An Garda Siochana, Kennedy served as a swimming instructor at the Garda College in Templemore. Why was there no inquiry into Kennedys activities and supervision of young children in Glenalbyn swimming club by Gardai? More of the cover up that goes on in AGS of paedophiles and abusers https://www.facebook.com/friendsofglenalbyn/videos/880229559011707/ While Garda Darragh Kennedy was stationed in Templemore Garda College, another officer discovered his activities involving child sexual abuse material. However, Chief Supt Colette threatened the reporting officer, warning him that his career would be ruined if he dares to report her husband, resulting in a major cover-up of another garda paedophile for decades. Chief Supt Colette Quinn frequently told her friends that her husband Garda Darragh Kennedy openly enjoyed an unconventional, intense, strange and weird sex life. Despite Colette Quinn being aware of these dynamics and knowing about his involvement with child pornography, she took no action and covered it up for decades? Chief Supt Colette Quinn shielded her husband Garda Darragh Kennedy across the entirety of his career in the police force, while benefiting from the same institutional protection herself. This reflects the broader culture within An Garda Síochána and how corrupt senior gardai can destroy people and also protect serious criminals without any repercussions. Chief Supt Colette Quinn was made the frontline interaction person with young people, such as running youth groups, issuing cautions etc. this was just unimaginable, given the very serious charges put against her husband Garda Darragh Kennedy, involving child abuse material, assigning Colette Quinn to lead programs focused on children and youth was deeply concerning. This is garda management for you and what they do, putting more children at risk of possible abuse? https://localnews.ie/courts/report/cni-70408/retired-garda-formerly-in-charge-of-youth-diversion-scheme-loses-age-discrimination-case/ Why was Garda Darragh Kennedy never fully investigated? the young children Kennedy thought swimming to in Glenalbyn, Stillorgan, Co Dublin should have been interviewed, instead this was all covered up because of who his wife was? - @captain_kieran_kelly
