Mr Byrne, the court heard, had stated in a report that one line of inquiry being considered by gardaí as part of the investigation into the child’s death was that the boy had allegedly been drowned and placed into a car. While he had believed the information to be credible, the information later turned out not to be true. Shortly afterwards he claims his employer suspended him for allegedly breaching the broadcaster’s News Guidelines and Production Handbook, because he had failed to speak to his line manager about the matter in advance of the broadcast.
