Garda who stole €600 challenges dismissal

The court was told yesterday that Wayne Hoban, of Kingscroft, Camas Road, Cashel, Co Tipperary, was dismissed from An Garda Síochána earlier this year in respect of two cheques he cashed at a bank in Carrick on Suir in 2012 and 2014.

Hoban had subsequently admitted he falsely signed the cheques in the names of other gardaí with the intention of using the money for his own financial gain. The cash was the property of the Carrick on Suir Garda Social Club.
