We have learned that the officer has been charged with endangerment and dangerous driving in relation to the deaths of burglars Dean Maguire (29), Karl Freeman (26) and Graham Taylor (31).
A garda has been served with a summons for court on charges in relation to a horror incident in which three burglars died in a collision on the N7.
The three men died after they drove the wrong way down the N7 whilst fleeing gardai - and then collided in a head-on crash with a truck between Citywest and Baldonnel on July 7, 2021. “The Garda Representative Association has only been informed of the exact nature of these charges in the past 24 hours and will now take time to consider the implications and any possible course of action required.
“Once again we have a situation whereby a Garda is subject to a protracted GSOC process to only find out in a public domain that he is to face charges.“We see multiple cases of this each year. This cannot continue. It is no way best practice and most certainly will have a negative consequence on ongoing Garda recruitment.
He claimed Gsoc should be required to provide a legal justification as to why the men’s relatives should have another two weeks of “legal uncertainty” imposed on them. Mr MacGuill said he would be “astonished” if the garda or his solicitor had not asked what exact charge he would be facing.
