Garda Commissioner Drew Harris
The High Court has directed Garda Commissioner Drew Harris to disclose the names and addresses of gardaí against whom he believes there is evidence of involvement in a smear campaign against a former colleague.
Ex-garda Keith Blythe had brought legal proceedings seeking to find out the identities of former colleagues who allegedly defamed him in messages circulated via WhatsApp and Facebook [in September 2018].
…The judge directed that the information be provided to Mr Blythe’s legal team before 1pm today, so that defamatory proceedings may be issued against the proposed defendants prior to the Friday expiry of a time limit in which to launch defamation cases against them.

Hope Drew Harris and An Garda Siochana don’t contemplate doing what they did to Sgt Maurice McCabe to latest WhistleBlower Keith Blythe?
Top marks to Bodger and Broadsheet for reporting as don’t expect Irish MSM #RTEbias to mention it until the SH1t hits the fan.

Will be interesting to see if they follow up?
Remember 12 Sept 2019 RTÉ report about Katherine Zappone knowledge for over a year Hyde & Seek scandal? Still waiting for them to challenge her. So many scandals in this Corrupt Kip it’s hard to keep up.
