Retired Garda sergeant subjected to  'horrendous cycle of intimidation and bullying', tribunal told

William Hughes was assigned to the community policing unit out of Swords Garda Station at the time Baiba Saulite was murdered at her home in Swords on  November 19, 2006.

A retired Garda sergeant has alleged he was subjected to a “horrendous cycle of intimidation, bullying and harassment at the hand of Garda management” for highlighting what he called a “systems failure” in its investigations prior to the murder of a mother-of-two in Dublin in 2006.

The Disclosures Tribunal is hearing the opening statement regarding the case of retired Garda sergeant William Hughes at Dublin Castle on Tuesday afternoon.
