Emma Roche loses High Court injunction bid over Garda job

This report is a localnews.ie summary based on public court reporting and records; sources are listed below.

Emma Roche lost her application for a temporary injunction against the Garda Commissioner in the High Court on 22 April 2020. The injunction sought to prevent the dispensing of her services while her wider case continued.

Mr Justice Michael Twomey refused the application after finding that the Commissioner’s decision had already taken effect. Roche’s case included a claim that the decision followed her failure, on several occasions between 2017 and 2019, to pass part of the Garda physical examination known as the beep test.
