Garda sent for trial over leak of Dean Lyons report
A garda sergeant charged with unlawfully disclosing the contents of a report into the wrongful charging of Dean Lyons has been sent forward for trial to the Circuit Criminal Court.
Detective Sergeant Robert McNulty, of Rathfarnham in Dublin, was charged last month in connection with the leaking of a report compiled after the an inquiry into why the homeless drug addict was wrongfully charged with a double murder in Grangegorman which he did not commit.
The charges relate to a story which appeared in the Evening Herald in August 2006, a month before the report was due to be published.
The book of evidence has been served in the case and the detective has been remanded on continuing bail.
