Garda sergeant loses bid to quash harrassment investigation

A garda sergeant has lost his High Court bid aimed at quashing the Garda Ombudsman's decision to investigate allegations that the Sergeant harassed a man over a four-year period.

Sergeant Oliver Moran, Kilmacrennan garda station, Co Donegal, is also disputing the Garda Ombudsman Commission's decision extending the six-month time limit for completion of an investigation into a complaint by Mr Josie Kelly that he was harassed between 2003 and 2007.
