Garda harassed married sergeant, court hears

Gerardine Small, prosecuting, told a Dublin Circuit Criminal Court jury the fact Garda Donal Maguire harassed the married woman was not disputed, but rather the jurors had to determine if he was suffering from a mental disorder at the time.

Garda Maguire, aged 40, of Rock Rd, Bundoran, Co Donegal, has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity to two counts of harassing the woman at a location in Dublin on dates between February 18 and March 11, 2012, and between August 1, 2012, and February 4, 2013.
