Sargent case complaint to be probed

THE Garda Ombudsman confirmed it has received a complaint from a member of the public in relation to the case highlighted by former Green minister of state Trevor Sargent.

The ombudsman is likely to set up an investigation into the matter, but it will first wait until it receives a report ordered by Garda Commissioner Fachtna Murphy.

It is understood the complaint centres on the Garda investigation into the original public order incident.
