Hundreds to be quizzed in garda sex harassment investigation

OFFICERS from Garda Internal Affairs are expected to question hundreds of people who attended a pre-Christmas party in the garda training college, after which two female trainees claimed they were victims of sexual harassment.

Two gardaí accused of sexually harassing female recruits have been transferred from the garda training college. A Garda Superintendent is heading up the internal investigation.

Fine Gael has called on Justice Minister Michael McDowell to make a statement on the nature of the inquiry in the Dáil.
