Garda inquiry into incident involving homeless manMonday 16 March 2015 23.55 A garda superintendent has been appointed to investigate an incident involving a member of the force and a homeless man which took place last week in Dublin city centre. During the video the garda appears to have his foot on the leg of the man, who is lying on the ground. The inquiry will also examine whether or not the garda used pepper spray on the man after he was handcuffed. The incident happened on Dublin's Henry Street last Friday at around 3.30pm and was captured on video which was subsequently posted on Facebook. According to garda sources, it is understood that during the incident the garda's pepper spray canister was taken. The same sources say the garda recovered the canister and used it to subdue the man who was then placed in handcuffs. Gardaí have begun an internal investigation into the incident . A superintendent from outside the division has been appointed to look at what happened and see what, if any, action should be taken against the officer involved. It is understood the investigation will examine if the garda used pepper spray after the man was placed in handcuffs and if and why he placed his foot on the man A spokesperson for the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission said it is currently assessing the video to decide whether or not it will carry out its own investigation.

Fiosrúchán faoi eachtra i mBaile Átha Cliath Dé hAoine seo caiteDé Luain 16 Márta 2015 18.58 Tá fiosrúchán ar bun ag na Gardaí i dtaca le heachtra a tharla idir Gharda agus fear gan dídean i lár chathair Bhaile Átha Cliath Dé hAoine seo caite. Tharla an eachtra ar Shráid Anraí ag thart ar 3.30 ar an Aoine. Thaifid duine den phobal an eachtra agus cuireadh an físeán ar Facebook. Tuigtear gur tógadh canna sprae piobair ón nGarda le linn na heachtra. Is cosúil go bhfuair sé ar ais é agus gur bhain sé leas as an sprae leis an bhfear a cheansú. Sheas an Garda ar ghlúin an fhir agus chuir sé dornaisc air freisin. Níl sé soiléir ag an tráth seo ar baineadh leas an sprae sular cuireadh na dornaisc ar an bhfear. Deir na Gardaí gur fiosrúchán inmheánach atá ar bun agus nár cuireadh fios ar Choimisiún Ombudsman an Gharda Síochána.
