Helen McEntee has refused to comment on criticism of the garda commissioner after he said the public did “not know the full story” about a garda who faced a lengthy disciplinary investigation for loaning a bicycle to a farmer.

The solicitor representing the garda, who was cleared of any wrongdoing, said that Drew Harris needs to explain his comments made to an Oireachtas committee on Thursday.
