Three investigations under way into gardaí criticised in report
Three probes are being conducted, two by An Garda Síochána. The third is being carried out by the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission (GSOC), on foot of a request by Justice Minister Alan Shatter. The two Garda investigations will also examine whether or not clergy criticised by the Murphy commission breached criminal law.
One of the probes — led by Assistant Commissioner Derek Byrne — is specifically targeting the clerical abusers and is asking victims and other members of the public with information about possible criminal matters relating to the report, to contact them.
