At least one garda supervisor involved in a controversial investigation that led to a garda being suspended for three years for giving an unwanted bicycle to a pensioner, changed their sworn testimony at a recent board of inquiry, the Sunday Independent can reveal.

Garda HQ is awaiting a report from the inquiry before potentially launching a full inquiry into this “possibly very concerning” development.
