McCann sent a man photos of his conviction record and of another individual's custody photo
Image: Sasko Lazarov/RollingNews.ie A FORMER CIVILIAN employee of An Garda Siochana has been handed a prison sentence for forwarding photos of information on the Pulse system to an individual known to Gardaí.
Imposing sentence, Judge Martin Nolan said “people working for institutions such as An Garda Siochana have to be discreet and respect the rules”. McCann’s search history showed she had accessed a large number of files that she would have had no reason to search in the course of her work. She also sent photos containing information about a confidential Garda source. Images were also taken of a file relating to R’s brother.
The investigating Garda told the court that messages between “R” and McCann appear to suggest that she was offered €500 to provide information about R’s brother. The investigating Garda agreed with Seamus Clarke SC, defending, that his client had worked for the Gardaí for 11 months, in what was her first full-time job after completing her Leaving Certificate.The investigating Garda also agreed with Clarke that his client’s signed pleas were of value given the sensitive nature of the Garda information involved.
