flag Dublin cop cleared of assault and racism charges over 2023 bar incident due to unreliable evidence.

flag Dublin Garda Superintendent Gavin O’Reilly was cleared of assault and racial abuse charges related to an August 2023 incident at a gay bar while off duty, with Judge John Hughes dismissing the charges due to unreliable testimony and conflicting evidence. flag CCTV showed the bar manager pushing O’Reilly after he returned, and the judge found no credible evidence of assault, racial abuse, or serious misconduct, ruling only a minor public order offence occurred. flag O’Reilly avoided a criminal conviction by donating €1,000 to a school charity in Gambia, with the judge noting the disproportionate impact a conviction would have on his 21-year career despite the low culpability.
