The Garda Commissioner has stood over the lengthy disciplinary process endured by a garda who loaned a bicycle to a pensioner during the covid-19 lockdown.

The Justice Minister Helen McEntee has also refused to comment on criticism of the commissioner. Drew Harris had this week said the public did "not know the full story" about the investigation.
