Garda and Courts Service dispute over media exclusion from sitting deepens

District Court on October 13th charged with committing a public behaviour offence against the family member of a local Garda.

Despite the Courts Service last week insisting that neither Judge O’Shea, nor any member of his staff had barred the journalists from the hearing, the Garda Press Office insisted on Thursday that the Garda’s version of events is correct. “Once the voir dire was finalised the courtroom was opened up to all,” said a spokesperson, adding “any person who believes that they have been subject to inappropriate conduct by a member of An Garda Síochána” could complain to the Garda Ombudsman.
