GSOC probe into Garda whistleblower’s complaint delayed two years over files

An investigation into a Garda whistleblower’s complaint has been stalled for two years because of a failure by the force to hand over documents to the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission (GSOC).

Garda Keith Harrison first met with GSOC in August 2014 and was told a probe into his complaints of malpractice in the force would be immediately investigated.

Earlier this month, his solicitor wrote to GSOC chair Mary Ellen Ring, complaining that virtually no progress had been made.
