Committee on Justice, Home Affairs and Migration

Policing Matters: An Garda Síochána

2:00 am

Mr. Drew Harris:

I stand over the correspondence and the examination that I conducted of this matter. The test I had was: did I see something sufficient for an incident of concern to report to Fiosrú? No, I did not. I was very concerned then that there were two female Garda members - it is very clear where they are attached to - and very serious allegations were made against them, in effect, of an assault. It was not borne out by anything I could see or hear, or their accounts of it. I stand over that completely.
