Investigation to examine handling of garda abuse allegations, says Drew Harris

Garda Commissioner Drew Harris said a 'small team' are examining cases involving allegations of domestic or sexual violence against gardaí.

Garda Commissioner Drew Harris said that in light of the Sarah Everard murder case in London he is setting up a review of investigations where gardaí are accused of domestic or sexual violence to make sure they are investigated properly.

A British police oversight body is investigating reports that previous allegations of indecent exposure against her killer — London Met officer Wayne Couzens — were not properly investigated by police at the time, meaning he was not apprehended before committing murder.
