A Garda sergeant has brought a fresh High Court action over an alleged failure to process or pay an expenses claim for €23,000 he submitted over four years ago.

The action has been brought by Sgt Patrick Dunne who in August 2019 made a claim for subsistence expenses, covering a four-year period between July 2014 to October 2018. It was to cover expenses, including travel costs, incurred by the sergeant while he was working at a Dublin Garda Station.
