34 gardaí retire after Morris investigation

THE full impact of the scandals in Donegal on An Garda Síochána emerged yesterday.

More than 30 gardaí whose actions were investigated by the Morris Tribunal have retired. Six were dismissed, two resigned while three gardaí were charged with criminal offences.

The details show the damage to the force in what Garda commissioner Fachtna Murphy described as a “dark period” for the gardaí.
