His complaints include delays, missing evidence, failures to suspend suspects and inappropriate circumstances for taking statements that discouraged people from coming forward.The tribunal heard that on 9 May 2015 an investigations team which included former Assistant and Acting Commissioner Donall Ó Cualáin and senior detective Declan Mulcahy was set up to investigate Garda Keogh’s allegations of collusion.
“He had obvious prior knowledge, Garda A, that his phone was to be seized. Clearly. No doubt. Someone must have tipped him off. I don’t know who but I assume so, if all the info is wiped,” he said. Diarmaid McGuinness SC, for the tribunal, noted that if Deputy Flanagan had not gone public that “the suspect might not have been aware” of a possible investigation.
Garda Keogh: “Yes, there was commercial opium, a couple of kilos of it, that was stored in the same room as some DVDs.”In other evidence, the taking of statements was also complained of by Garda Keogh. “They had the phones and addresses of every Garda there and then they decide to do it in the station while he is present? It’s insane.”
Be nothing compared to the body camera footage that will wiped when they are introduced.
Could have been worse, he could have shot and killed a suspect on duty and then have the government clean it up nice for him, as has happened on numerous occasions.
