GSOC probe into fatal car crash under way

The Garda Ombudsman is expected to raise concerns with Noirín O’Sullivan, the interim Garda commissioner regarding the handling by officers of a fatal car crash.

This follows claims that it took gardaí five-and-a-half hours to inform the watchdog about an incident in which a female passenger died in a car accident.

A Garda car was following the vehicle at the time, although it may have been some distance behind it.
