"Serious questions need to be asked” about disciplinary and suspension procedures in An Garda Síochána, it has been claimed, after a long-serving member had initially faced sanction for giving an unclaimed bike to an elderly man during the pandemic.

That is according to Garda Representation Association president Brendan O’Connor, who was speaking after an inquiry cleared the garda.
