Former garda launches bid to quash decision to sack him
Kevin Galvin, aged 37, was a member of An Garda Síochána for 13 years until June 16, 2010, when he was dismissed under the 2005 Garda Síochána Act, following an internal investigation, because his continued membership of the force would “undermine public confidence” in the gardaí.
Mr Galvin, a married father of two from Furry Park Road, Clontarf, Dublin, claims the decision to summarily dismiss him was unfair, unlawful, lacked fair procedures, and breached his constitutional and human rights.
