Leinster House

A "murky" and "secret" process of vetting for the post of captain of the guard in the Houses of the Oireachtas had taken place alongside normal garda vetting, the High Court has heard.

The claim was made in proceedings being brought by Defence Forces Captain Alan Kearney who claims his nomination to the post had been cancelled in breach of his rights.
