Gardaí to launch review of domestic and sexual violence accusations after Everard case

Police boss orders examination of cases involving gardaí

Garda Commissioner Drew Harris said a 'small team' under the Garda National Protective Services Bureau will conduct the review. 

Garda Commissioner Drew Harris has revealed that, in light of the Sarah Everard murder case in London, he is setting up review of investigations where gardaí are accused of domestic or sexual violence to make sure they are investigated properly.

A British police oversight body is investigating reports that previous allegations of indecent exposure against Ms Everard's killer — London Met police officer Wayne Couzens — were not properly investigated by police at the time, meaning his behaviour was not checked before committing murder.
