Limerick garda superintendent challenges suspension over alleged leaks

A garda superintendent is seeking to bring a High Court challenge to what he says are "preposterous" and false allegations which have led to his suspension from the force for a year.

Supt Edmund Anthony O'Neill, 53, who was part of the team of officers who secured five murder convictions in the Limerick city gangland feud, was arrested and questioned in May last year over allegations that he leaked confidential information and was in the presence of another senior officer who allegedly snorted cocaine.
