Jail for man who corruptly received garda intelligence
Summary
Daniel Webb, 33, of Greystones, pleaded guilty to two counts of active and passive corruption for receiving confidential Garda Pulse information from former civilian employee Holly Hayden in exchange for cocaine. The court heard that Hayden sent 17 lines of intelligence and screenshots to Webb on 6 and 9 September 2019, and that Webb received the information and was later searched. Judge Orla Crowe set a headline sentence of three years, but imposed two years in prison on each count to run concurrently, with the final 12 months suspended for two years. Webb had no prior convictions, pleaded guilty early, and was described as remorseful and at low risk of reoffending. The case was adjourned for Webb's co‑accused until 6 November.
