Wilson to address SF summer school

Garda whistleblower John Wilson will reiterate the need to reform the force today and outline his experiences raising malpractice against former colleagues during his address at a Sinn Féin summer school.

The former garda last night said claims that the garda ombudsman was previously under some sort of surveillance were “very disturbing”.

The retired Cavan garda also praised senior figures in Sinn Féin and said the party was now “a political force to be reckoned with” in Ireland.
