Probationary Garda Caoimhe Busher challenges Garda Commissioner's decision to extend her probationary period and ongoing disciplinary proceedings.

Probationary Garda Caoimhe Busher has filed a High Court challenge against the decision of the Garda Commissioner to extend her probationary period for the seventh time, extending it to October 2024. Busher alleges this breaches her rights under domestic and European law and that the Garda Commissioner has unreasonably delayed in assessing her ability to do the job. She is also challenging ongoing disciplinary proceedings related to a 2019 road traffic incident, arguing that they are tainted by unreasonable delay, bias, and a lack of fair procedures.
