Dozens to sue contractor who they claim posted photos of them from Garda Station on social media

More than 25 people intend to sue over the circulation on social media of images containing their names and photographs on a Garda notice board.

The actions arise out of claims that in March 2019 a person, believed to be a contractor employed by the Gardaí was permitted access to a room in Kilmainham Garda Station, which contained briefing bulletins.
