Probe into allegations of Garda corruption
The Garda Commissioner has already ordered an investigation into the allegations which were made in the Sunday Independent newspaper. The newspaper claimed there was a drug dealer to high-profile Irish celebrities who was protected by corrupt gardaí.
It is believed the mention of garda corruption triggered the seriousness of the response from Garda Commissioner Fachtna Murphy, particularly following the damage the force suffered in relation to Garda corruption in Donegal.
