A Garda whistleblower has told the Disclosues Tribunal that he was not “rounding” people up to make complaints against a garda he alleged was colluding with a drug-dealer. On his second day giving evidence, Gda Keogh told Judge Sean Ryan that on May 18, 2014, he used the Garda Pulse computer system to query Garda A. Garda A told Garda Superintendent Noreen McBrien that the check was for "personal reasons" and that "these checks were in no way Garda-related matters", adding that the "sinister" matter be fully investigated. Gda Keogh said he told Ms O'Neill to "name names and name guards" but did not mention any individuals. Gda Keogh then said he was advised that "Ms O'Neill was advised to make a complaint about me", which was refused by Ms O'Neill.
