Senior Garda management have apologised to a District Court judge for “inadvertently” barring the public from a Co Waterford court.

The Garda Press Office had insisted gardaí had been directed to remove the public and that two journalists attending court had also been “inadvertently” excluded due to a misunderstanding. “An Garda Síochána accepts that due to this error, justice was not on this occasion administered in public. On behalf of An Garda Síochána, I wish to apologise for this error.”The case involved Kieran Hartley, who appeared before Judge O’Shea in October charged with allegedly committing a public behaviour offence against the family member of a local Garda.
