Two Garda probes follow twin downfalls
As the aftershocks of the ministerial downfalls continued to crash through the Dáil, the inquiry into Mr Sargent’s unlawful intervention into a criminal prosecution was widened to uncover how letters from the former Green leader to gardaí were leaked to the media.
Garda Commissioner Fachtna Murphy also launched an investigation into a complaint of alleged perjury by the former Defence Minister and a related claim that a garda had leaked confidential information to him.
