Garda sergeant seen 'stamping on a Traveller's head' was not prosecuted
The incident, where a Garda sergeant was witnessed assaulting a member of the Travelling community, took place in 2016 in Waterford.
A Garda sergeant who was seen assaulting a member of the Traveller community was not prosecuted or disciplined over the incident, despite statements from colleagues and CCTV footage as to his culpability.
The victim of the alleged assault was at the time suspected of raping a woman a few days earlier. Despite a complaint from the woman and supporting evidence, this man was never charged with the rape offence.
