Whether human rights obligations upheld in homicide review cases is unclear - Commissioner

Garda Commissioner Drew Harris said he was not able to give a commitment that 41 homicide investigations subject to a detailed internal review complied with European human rights obligations.

Speaking at a public meeting of the Policing Authority, he said that would be for a tribunal to judge, but admitted that some of the failings in the investigations would be viewed “pretty dimly” in some venues.
