  • Garda John English fails High Court bid to prevent dismissal over drink-driving conviction Drink driving · Co. Tipperary

    John English, a garda attached to Clonmel Garda station in Co Tipperary, was stopped four times over the legal limit on 14 August 2022 and was convicted at Cashel District Court in May 2023, receiving a €500 fine and a three-year driving disqualification. He was suspended from the force in September 2022, the Garda commissioner proposed his dismissal in February 2024, and the Policing Authority permitted it in late 2024. In June 2026, High Court judge Sean Gillane dismissed English's challenge, ruling the commissioner's decision was not unreasonable or irrational.
