Galway Bay fm newsroom – A Garda, formerly based in Clifden, accused of theft of over 3,000 euro in overtime allowances, has been found not guilty by direction of a Circuit Court judge.
44 year old Ciaran Folan, from Ramstown, Fethardon-sea in County Wexford, was accused of claiming overtime for shifts he didn’t do.
After hearing legal argument at Limerick Circuit Court, trial judge Tom O’Donnell, found that, payslips – which were to be used as part of the prosecution’s case – were in fact “inadmissible” as evidence.
