In a statement this morning, Gardai confirmed instructors were already up-skilling in pursuits
Garda instructors are already receiving special pursuit training in England, after concerns were raised about their ability to police dangerous driving.
It follows the two car collision on the M9 on Sunday, which resulted in the deaths of five teenagers after they drove the wrong way up the motorway, and collided with another car.
In a statement this morning, Gardai confirmed instructors were already up-skilling in pursuits, saying it 'has been part of the plan'.
Meanwhile, a fundraiser for three family members seriously injured in Sunday's M9 collision has raised over €200,000 in its first 15 hours.
Niamh and Alma Kinsella, and Ella Hendricken from Carlow remain in hospital with serious injuries following the incident.
A 7-year-old boy also in the car is being treated at CHI Crumlin.
Ella's friend Bryan yesterday set up a GoFundMe to support the women in their recovery, describing the road ahead for the sisters as 'long and challenging'.
