Garda 'made false claims after row with taxi driver'


Tuesday September 23 2008

A FEMALE garda has been accused of making a false statement to gardai alleging that she was attacked by a taxi driver, a court heard yesterday.





Niamh O'Connor (24) from, Enniscorthy, Co Wexford, appeared before Dublin District Court yesterday on a charge of providing false information.

Sergeant Ronan Muldoon told the court that Ms O'Connor made a statement at Donnybrook garda station in Dublin alleging that she was attacked on her way home in the early hours of December 28 2007.

Ms O'Connor hailed a taxi on Camden Street and asked to be taken to Balinteer, Sgt Muldoon said.

She said the taxi driver asked her if it was all right if he dropped off another passenger, already in the front seat, in Rathmines, according to Sgt Muldoon's evidence. Ms O'Connor told gardai that she didn't realise until they were outside Herbert Park that the passenger was still in the car.

She alleged that the car stopped and another man got out of the boot. The three men then attacked her, she said.

Sgt Muldoon said Ms O'Connor told him and his colleague that she had her dress ripped and her tights torn before escaping the men's advances.

But Ms O'Connor admitted later that day that she fabricated her statement because she had a disagreement with the taxi driver, Sgt Muldoon said.

Judge Clare Leonard asked Sgt Muldoon what the disagreement had been over, but he said that Ms O'Connor could not remember.

Admission

Sgt Muldoon said that Ms O'Connor had told gardai, following her admission, that she had torn her own dress.

The case was deferred until October 13 due to a dispute over jurisdiction -- on whether the case should be heard in the District Court or to a higher court.

Defence counsel Martin Moran told Justice Leonard that he required time to consider garda statements and obtain reports.

"I'll be in a better position to persuade you on jurisdiction then," he said.

Judge Leonard granted Mr Moran's request. But she described the case as very serious and said she was not usually persuaded on jurisdiction.

By the way, feel free to vote even if you're not a taxi driver it's just an opinion poll...

Will she lose her job over this?

After all, in the future she could be in court giving testimony in different cases as a serving garda. How can she be relied on?

It's reassuring that she's a Guard. Good to see we can rely on them to stick to the truth.

Yup. It was Mentalists what made her do it.

I bet their disagreement was over the taxi man charging extra on the meter for the passenger in the boot and the one hiding in the footwell.

One would imagine that they are two seperate stories, seeing as one was reported as agirl running screaming into a pub and the other a Garda reporting it into a station,,, but then again we all know what the Gards do with the confiscated drink
