‘Dossier’ complaints were already probed, say gardaí

Senior gardaí yesterday insisted all the complaints in the ‘dossier’ at the centre of a Government review have already been “fully investigated” by a high-level team.

However, top officers are conducting a fresh probe of the cases as part of the Department of Justice’s review of the dossier — conducted on the request of Taoiseach Enda Kenny.

The allegations — made by Garda sergeant and whistleblower Maurice McCabe — claim Garda misconduct and incompetence, including in the handling of cases as serious as murder, assault, and abduction.
