Garda Nicholas Keogh was questioned at the Disclosures Tribunal in a bullying inquiry, reported on 23 October 2019.

The tribunal, chaired by Judge Sean Ryan, was investigating whether Garda management targeted, harassed or bullied him after his protected disclosure.

Counsel for An Garda Síochána questioned Keogh about absences linked to drinking and stress, and about medical information recorded as flu rather than work-related stress.

Keogh said the Chief Medical Officer was kept informed neither of his work-related stress nor the relevant medical certificates. The State disputed his account during questioning.
