Gardaí to probe claim Du Plantier evidence ignored
A garda spokesperson said Maurice Sweeney's claim that gardaí overlooked the information he offered would be examined as part of a high-level inquiry into separate claims by a key witness that she felt under pressure when identifying the chief suspect to gardaí.
The internal garda investigation was announced earlier this month when Marie Farrell controversially withdrew her allegations against British journalist Ian Bailey, whom she identified as having been near the crime scene.
