Edmund Anthony O'Neill failed to have his suspension lifted by the High Court, which rejected his injunction application, reported on 11 September 2020.

The Garda superintendent, stationed at Roxboro Road in Limerick, denied allegations linked to confidential information and alleged cocaine use while disciplinary and criminal investigations continued.

Mr Justice Senan Allen held that the suspension by the Garda Commissioner was justified and that O'Neill had not shown a strong case likely to succeed at the full hearing.
