    In theory of course.


    If somebody, as part of a wider agenda, made a complaint of assault against an innocent party, would it be appropriate/appreciated/possible, to approach the guards and give them the wider picture.

    It could be a situation where somebody wants someone to leave for whatever reason, and they dont want to.

    Dirty tricks I think could be the word.....

    In theory of course:D

    Yes, it would be appropriate, otherwise the Gardai would only have one side of the story. However a history of bad blood for whatever reason wouldn't be cause to not prosecute for a specific case of assault, provided the Gardai were satisfied that the complainant was prepared to go to court and give evidence as outlined in their statement.

    Given that you say the allegation is false, you should also tell the Gardai why you think it is false and if you were at the scene, that you will be prepared to go and give evidence for the defence. In such a case the Gardai may tell the complainant that they will not prosecute.
