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

John Fintan Fanning’s injunction application over his suspension was struck out at the High Court on 27 February 2019, while his main action continued.

The suspension had been lifted on 25 February after the Garda Ombudsman discontinued its criminal investigation into him. Fanning is seeking declarations that the suspension was unlawful, along with damages; the Garda Commissioner rejects those claims.

The court adjourned the matter for mention in late May, with pleadings to be exchanged before then.
