GSOC's Ian Bailey report due in weeks

A long-awaited GSOC report into the garda investigation of journalist Ian Bailey is due to be published in the next three weeks.

The report, expected to be one of the longest GSOC has ever produced, will engulf the Garda Síochána in fresh controversy at a time of renewed crisis surrounding Garda Commissioner Nóirín O’Sullivan.

The Irish Examiner understands the Garda Ombudsman report, which has been bedevilled with delays and was supposed to be published last February, will now be published within the coming three weeks.
