Clare’s Senator is again calling on the Garda Commissioner to step aside following allegations of a cover up at the Garda College.

Evidence given to the Public Accounts Committee by Garda Head of HR John Barrett suggests the Commissioner was informed of financial irregularities at Templemore College in July 2015.

She was then advised that she was legally obliged to inform the Minister of Justice, but didn’t do so.
