A Dublin-based garda is to stand trial accused of perverting the course of justice and burglary.
The Garda Anti-Corruption Unit has been investigating the activities of a particular Garda unit based in the Dublin region.
It has led to the arrest of four officers currently suspended from duty.
Garda Mark Duffy (39) arrived at Dublin District Court on Tuesday wearing a beanie hat and a facemask after being given station bail last week. But he removed them when he entered the courtroom and appeared before Judge Treasa Kelly.
He is accused of doing an act between August 28th and December 20th, 2021, with intent to pervert the course of public justice, which had a tendency to pervert the course of public justice, contrary to common law.
The officer with a Dublin 15 address is also accused of burglary. In this offence, he is alleged to have entered the flat of a named male as a trespasser on June 19th, 2021, at Kenilworth Road, Dublin 6, to commit an arrestable offence.
