Gardaí are to demand that the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission reveals what personal data it retains on individual members of the force.

Garda Commissioner Noirín O’Sullivan has told gardaí it is “inappropriate” for officers to support either side of the same-sex marriage referendum while on duty, after claims a weekend controversy over the issue is “not an isolated incident”.

The Supreme Court this week made a ruling that impacts hugely on evidence gathering by gardaí. Cormac O’Keeffe reports on a landmark decision 

A belligerent man shouted “silence, silence, silence” into the face of a garda who asked for his name and later when gardaí were going through his pockets as part of a routine search he urinated in his pants.

A Garda chief has renewed appeals to people with information about the high-profile cases of missing women to end the “living nightmare” of families and come forward.
