Morris Tribunal garda may take legal action over sacking

SACKED Garda Superintendent Kevin Lennon has hinted he may take legal action following his dismissal from the force on foot of the damning Morris Tribunal report.

The former Donegal-based officer said he was taking legal advice after the Government confirmed yesterday that the Cabinet had taken the decision on Tuesday to permanently remove him from duty.

Justice Minister Michael McDowell said the decision was taken only after the superintendent had been allowed time to respond in writing twice to issues raised with him by the Government following Justice Morris’s report.
