The Disclosures tribunal has rejected up to eight complaints it received from gardaí who felt they were targeted by senior officers after making a whistleblower disclosure, it has emerged. The public inquiry into his complaints comes under term of reference P, which instructs the tribunal to consider complaints from members of the force who made protected disclosures prior to February 16th, 2017, the day the Oireachtas established the tribunal. However, no decision has as yet been made about the remaining complaints under review. Mr Justice Charleton dismissed as false and completely without foundation complaints Garda Harrison made about Tusla and the gardaí treating him unfairly. The judge subsequently decided that Garda Harrison was not entitled to most of his legal costs.
