A Garda sergeant has lost his High Court bid to quash the Garda ombudsman’s decision to investigate allegations that he harassed a man over a four-year period.
Garda Sgt Oliver Moran, Kilmacrennan Garda station, Co Donegal, had also disputed the Garda ombudsman commission’s decision extending the six-month limit for completion of an investigation into a complaint by Josie Kelly that he was harassed between 2003 and 2007. Mr Justice John Hedigan ruled the decision to extend time was reasonable.
