A garda has been sentenced at Trim Circuit Court in Co Meath to three years in jail for corruption and deception offences, in what was described as an abuse of his power.

Joseph Doyle, with an address at The Hawthorns, Kilcock, Co Kildare, pleaded guilty to 29 sample charges on the third day of his trial last month.

The 38-year-old had been charged with 89 offences of deception, corruption and money laundering between 2018 and 2020.
