Garda will not face charges over Trevor Sargent leak

A GARDA suspected of leaking documents that led to the downfall of junior minister Trevor Sargent will not face criminal charges.

The Director of Public Prosecutions decided against recommending an action against any garda involved in the case.

A garda in her 30s, who was based at Balbriggan, had been questioned about how letters written by Mr Sargent, on departmental notepaper, made it into the public domain.
