Garda Commissioner Drew Harris was questioned on the Margiotta case that collapsed at trial earlier this year. The details of the Margiotta case are laid out in the timeline on this page and have been reported on in the Irish Examiner over the last month. At that point, the Margiottas’ legal team was not furnished with the Bradley report. Yet, the commissioner’s answer could give the impression that GSOC was now investigating the whole Margiotta case, which would preclude him from doing anything further. If the defendants had pleaded guilty there is no reason to believe the Bradley report would ever have surfaced.
