THE HEAD OF human resources at An Garda Síochána, John Barrett, has been suspended from duty.
It comes after an internal investigation into alleged disagreements between Barrett – who is a civilian – and other senior members of the force.
In a statement, a garda spokesperson said: “This is an internal employment matter. An Garda Síochána will not be commenting further particularly on the identity of the individual.”
Barrett was a witness during the Disclosures Tribunal.
As he is a civilian, the garda commissioner Drew Harris would have been required to seek approval from Minister for Justice Charlie Flanagan to suspend Barrett.
