Garda 'may have leaked info' which led to Sargent quitting

Questions are being raised over the ethics behind sourcing the leak which lead to the resignation of Trevor Sargent last week.

Gardaí are now investigating if the leak orginated from a serving Garda.

The mobile phone records of the journalist who broke the story have been accessed by officers involved in the case.

However, the Evening Herald Newspaper is now said to be unlikely to cooperate with the investigation.
