Statement from Garda Commissioner Drew Harris on the death of Dr Vicky Conway - 20th July 2022

Issue Date: 20th July 2022

An Garda Síochána is saddened to learn of the death of Dr Vicky Conway.

Dr Conway made a significant contribution to policing here and in the UK through her academic research, publications and lectures, as well as her membership of both the Policing Authority and the Commission on the Future of Policing in Ireland.

Vicky’s passion for human rights-focused policing was evident in all her engagements with myself and my Garda colleagues. She was a strong and dedicated advocate for vulnerable members of society and minority communities.

An Garda Síochána sends its condolences to Vicky’s family and friends.
