Report due on alleged collusion between gardaí and convicted drug trafficker

The report of a high-level independent investigation into allegations of collusion between gardaí and a convicted drugs trafficker is expected to be published shortly.

The Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission is expected to publish the report within weeks of receiving official notification from the DPP of the decision not to bring charges.

It emerged unofficially that the DPP’s office is not going to direct prosecutions in the so-called Kieran Boylan investigation. It is expected to inform GSOC formally soon.
