Garda superintendent's call for suspension to be lifted rejected by Garda Commissioner

A Roxboro Road-based superintendent was suspended more than a year ago when he was arrested and questioned over allegations that he leaked confidential information and was in the presence of another senior officer who allegedly snorted cocaine in a pub.

The Garda Commissioner has rejected a suspended superintendent's claim his suspension should be lifted because of an alleged delay and failure to deal with what he says are unfounded allegations against him, the High Court heard.
