High Court allows two Garda inspectors to challenge disciplinary findings

Two garda inspectors are challenging disciplinary sanctions against them after they were found to be in neglect of duty in relation to the investigation into claims by a woman that her foster brother sexually abused her in the 1960s and 1970s.

The High Court granted Inspectors Aidan Farrelly and Kevin Gavigan leave to challenge the findings which they say were unlawful and made contrary to natural and constitutional justice.
