Court of Appeal dismissed an appeal against the High Court's refusal to grant leave for judicial review concerning the non-disclosure of documents in a corruption case involving a member of An Garda Síochána, on the grounds that the Court found no exceptionality in the appellant's case; that the trial judge is the ultimate arbiter of relevance and privilege claims; and that the appellant's fair trial rights are protected by the trial process and the possibility of an appeal post-conviction.
