Tom TuiteA serving garda has been sent forward for trial, accused of corruption offences and disclosing confidential information from An Garda Síochána's PULSE computer system. Gary Molloy, 46, whose address cannot be published due to a court order, faces six charges, including corruption, accepting an inducement, unlawfully disclosing information and conspiracy to commit criminal damage. Following an application by defence solicitor Wayne Kenny, she granted Mr Gaffey legal aid with senior counsel representation. Mr Kenny said Garda Molloy was deferring a legal aid application, and the judge agreed to his request to continue reporting restrictions on his address. The final charge against the garda alleges he disclosed to Mr Gaffey confidential information from a garda document regarding the identity of three males on March 24th in 2018.
