The High Court has refused judicial review of the ongoing suspension and disciplinary process of a probationary member of An Garda Síochána. The court found no unfairness or undue delay in the processes, noting that the applicant had been engaged throughout and was aware of the evolving context, including the decision by the Director of Public Prosecutions not to prosecute and the subsequent disciplinary inquiry by the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission (GSOC). The court emphasized that the suspension notices reflected changes in circumstances and that the Board of Inquiry had been actively progressing with the disciplinary investigation.
