Garda Commissioner Drew Harris has said an appeals board did not uphold his recommendations to dismiss gardai who he claimed had misused their power to coercively pursue sexual relationships.

He said there are a number of people who have been returned to service that he has concern about remaining as members of An Garda Siochana.
