Just to remind people of this. To clarify. I was not the Garda on the case these anonymous accounts are mentioning. There was more than one Garda Niall O’Connor at the time. My solicitor is dealing with this defamation and I won’t comment further at this time.
Niall O’Connor@NiallJournal_ieSep 16
I have identified two accounts on this platform @nwl88444048 @keira_con who have published untrue statements about me today and on 13 September. The statements are completely untrue, it is not me & it is defamatory. My solicitor is now handling this defamation on my behalf.
