Gardaí cleared of assaulting Limerick brothers

Two Dublin-based gardaí were last night cleared of assault charges at Limerick District Court.

Judge Grainne O’Neill said the evidence of CCTV showed the first contact was a grabbing of the wrist which was consistent with somebody disarming another and she dismissed all four charges of Section 2 assault against the two gardaí.

David Naughton, aged 33, with an address in Lucan, and Wesley Kenny, aged 36, with an address in Sandyford, had pleaded not guilty to assaulting brothers Luke Morrison, 19 and James Morrison, 22, on December 5 last.
