Acquitted gardaí may face fresh action

THE Garda Commissioner is considering whether or not to take any disciplinary action against four gardaí acquitted last month of assaulting a young man.

Commissioner Martin Callinan has received a report from the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission (GSOC) into issues arising out of its investigation.

The four gardaí were cleared on July 29 of 15 counts of assault, false imprisonment, trespass and forcible entry after a five-week trial in the Dublin Circuit Criminal Court.
