'May Day' garda loses complaint appeal
A garda who was cleared of assaulting three protestors during an anti-globalisation protest on May Day, 2002 has lost his legal bid to stop the Garda Complaints Board from dealing with a complaint against him.
The Supreme Court today dismissed an appeal by garda Donal Corcoran against an earlier High Court refusal to stop the complaints board proceeding with a complaint that garda Corcoran had failed to wear any identification on his uniform during the May Day riots.
