The Garda ELO/LGBT Officers have done much work over the years to engage with LGBT people and communities.

Fifty garda ELO/LGBT liaison officers were appointed and trained over the last number of years, and the previous diversity strategy and implementation plan led to a further 300 being appointed throughout the country.

These are positive indicators of the organisation’s commitment to diversity as a strategic goal.
