Garda challenges ‘malicious’ discipline

Garda whistleblower Keith Harrison has brought a High Court challenge aimed at stopping internal disciplinary proceedings against him.

It is alleged he verbally and physically abused and harassed his partner, and allegedly accessed details of her car 25 times on the Garda Pulse system.

Garda Harrison claims there is no bona fide basis for the disciplinary inquiry and he was previously accused of deceitfully hiding his relationship with the woman, whose brother was involved in a traffic accident leading to a garda’s death.
