Probe into Garda treatment of Bailey desirable: Shatter
The decision by the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission (GSOC) to launch an investigation, revealed by the Irish Examiner last month, followed a complaint of alleged Garda misconduct by Mr Bailey, lodged last December.
It is understood Mr Bailey may meet with GSOC investigators next week, in what is expected to be a lengthy and highly sensitive investigation.
