Calls follow four-year process into allegation Midlands-based garda stole bike from Garda stores, ending in exoneration

Members of the Association of Garda Sergeants and Inspectors want Helen McEntee to order a review into how Drew Harris conducts investigations – disciplinary or criminal. Photograph: Gareth Chaney/Collinsto carry out a root and branch review of how members of the force are investigated when allegations are made against them.

The DPP in 2021 directed the detective had no criminal case to answer arising from the allegation, brought by a colleague, a year earlier that he had stolen the bike. He was then investigated internally by the Garda under breach of discipline regulations, but exonerated earlier this month. Sergeants and inspectors from the Cork City Garda division also want to the Garda disciplinary regulations change to ensure when a Garda member appeals the decision of an investigating superintendent, that appeal should be decided up by a chief superintendent who has had no previous role in the case.
