Garda Mental Health

Detective Garda Sergeant John White challenged the decision of the Morris Tribunal to hear evidence relating to his mental health, in public. The senior Garda started his legal bid yesterday, in the High Court.

Garda John White's solicitor is claiming that the Garda is suffering from stress and anxiety. He states that the details of the Garda's mental health should not be revealed in public. The Garda's psychiatric consultant has given evidence to the effect that White is unfit to attend the Morris Tribunal.

Mr Justice Morris had previously found that Garda White had planted a sawn off shot gun at a Traveller encampment in Co Donegal.

In fairness, planting a sawn off shot gun at a Co Donegal Traveller encampment would cause most people some level of stress and anxiety!
