An Garda Síochána have asked European anti-fraud investigators not to name anyone in an investigation summary into the alleged misuse of funds at the Templemore Training College in Tipperary.
The request came in response to an offer by Olaf, the EU’s fraud-busting watchdog, for the gardaí to put forward comments or observations on a draft report, the Public Accounts Committee will be told.
Publishing names may hinder “possible criminal action against those identified, the force claimed.
“An Garda Síochána has responded to an offer from the European Anti-Fraud Office, Olaf, to comment on the summary of the facts concerning their investigation into the Templemore Training College funds,” Chief Superintendent John Dollard, writing from the commissioner s office, tells TDs and Senators.
