Decision to dismiss probationary garda quashed

In February 2020, the Garda Commissioner notified Orlaith Fahy of his decision to "dispense with her services" after she had failed fitness tests six times.

A decision to dismiss a probationary/trainee garda following her failure to pass fitness tests has been quashed by the High Court.

Orlaith Fahy had been stationed at Finglas and Blanchardstown Garda Stations in Dublin during her probationary period since 2016.
