"Garda whistleblower Lois West has said she was forced to take leave from work because she was "terrified" of a new civilian official installed as the head of the Garda analysis bureau after she testified to the Oireachtas about errors in homicide data."
"Ms West told the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) today that she later learned an assistant commissioner had gone as far as searching the apartment of the newly-hired head of the Garda Siochána Analysis Service (GSAS) after he was seen leaving the office with a "bulging" rucksack."
Lois West said she was forced to take leave from her Garda role because she felt terrified of a newly installed civilian head of the Garda Síochána Analysis Service. She had testified to the Oireachtas about errors in homicide data prior to the appointment. West told the Workplace Relations Commission that she later learned an assistant commissioner had searched the new GSAS head's apartment after seeing him leave the office with a bulging rucksack. The account raises concerns about internal security, staff safety, and senior Garda reactions to the appointment and whistleblowing on data errors.
