Fiosrú investigations led to jail sentences for two gardaí 

Fiosrú received 30 referrals from gardaí in relation to incidents of death or serious injury. These included nine road traffic incidents, four incidents in garda custody, seven apparent suicides, and six incidents of alleged sexual offence or abuse of power for a sexual purpose by a garda.

Two gardaí were given jail sentences for separate assaults on 17-year-old boys, while another garda was found in breach of discipline after a 17-year-old girl alleged he behaved in an inappropriate manner while drunk at a family home.

The three cases were among 67 investigations carried out by Fiosrú, the Police Ombudsman, where files were sent to the DPP. In its annual report for 2025, Fiosrú said the DPP directed against prosecution in 52 of the files, representing 78% of cases.
