Gsoc to be independently examined after investigator attended Hutch party 

Justice Minister Simon Harris said he was 'very satisfied that the Garda Commissioner is ensuring that this matter is investigated in an appropriate way'.

Gsoc is expected to appoint an independent examiner to investigate potential failings in the Garda oversight body.

Mid-career vetting in the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission (Gsoc) has also been suggested by Justice Minister Simon Harris.
