The Association of Garda Sergeants and Inspectors (AGSI) is calling for an external investigation to be carried out after one of Gsoc's investigators resigned having told people he attended a party for Gerry Hutch.

The gathering was held last Monday after Hutch was found not guilty of the murder of David Byrne, who was shot at a crowded boxing weigh-in event at the Regency Hotel on February 5 2016.
