2021 acquitted man challenges Garda decision to refuse taxi license due to sex assault allegations.

A man acquitted of sexually assaulting his 19-year-old daughter by a unanimous jury verdict in 2021 is challenging a Garda decision to refuse him a taxi license. The man claims that the Garda chief superintendent's refusal to grant him a license is based on concerns raised by the allegations, rather than considering the outcome of his acquittal. The man is seeking to quash the decision, arguing that it is unreasonable, irrational, and violates his natural and constitutional rights to justice and fair procedures. The High Court has allowed the case to proceed against the chief superintendent and the Garda Commissioner.
