Garda Ombudsman to publish Boylan report ‘in weeks’

Garda Ombudsman to publish Boylan report ‘in weeks’

The Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission (GSOC) is believed to have made the decision because of mounting public concern and allegations of a cover-up, reflected by raising the matter in the Dáil yesterday on a number of occasions.

Sources told the Irish Examiner the report should be compiled “fairly quickly, in a matter of weeks”, depending on the speed of document delivery by transport officials and gardaí. The commission is “almost certainly” going to make the bulk of its findings public, the source said.
