GSOC ordered to share documents with Bailey

The High Court has ordered the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission to disclose documents relating to complaints by Ian Bailey over the garda investigation into the 1996 murder of French film maker Sophie Toscan du Plantier in West Cork.

The documents include memos and interviews in the possession of GSOC in relation to Mr Bailey, his partner Jules Thomas, and two other people interviewed by gardaí, Marie Farrell and Martin Graham.

Mr Justice John Hedigan ordered GSOC to provide the documents within 12 days, along with a questionnaire filled in by Ms Farrell in January 1997.
