No clarity on garda Jobstown evidence

Garda Commissioner Nóirín O’Sullivan was accused of “filibustering” and “damaging confidence” in the organisation when quizzed over whether or not the Garda review into the Jobstown incident would examine allegations of gardaí giving inaccurate evidence in the criminal trial.

Despite repeated questioning at the Public Accounts Committee, the commissioner was unable to clarify clearly if concerns regarding the garda evidence would form part of the review.

She said that when the “totality of matters” before the courts were concluded that “obviously, that will feed into the review”.
