Legal expert slams garda interrogation

‘SCANDALOUS’ interrogation methods used by some gardaí — as highlighted in a recent court case — should no longer be tolerated, Professor Dermot Walsh has said.

The criminal law expert referred to a civil case taken by Dublin solicitor Gráinne Malone, who sued two gardaí for defamation.

Earlier this month, the Garda Commissioner and the Justice Minister apologised to Ms Malone for comments made by Garda Eddie Brennan and Garda William Dempsey.
