A Limerick Garda inspector recently cleared of allegedly snorting cocaine at a bar in the Treaty City four years ago was still waiting for the Garda Commissioner to make a decision on whether his suspension would be lifted allowing him to return to duty after four years sidelined.
A source said Inspector Arthur Ryan, one of Limerick City’s most experienced crime fighters, had been cleared by a Garda internal disciplinary board of any alleged wrongdoing after he appealed an earlier recommendation that he be dismissed.
Inspector Ryan was arrested, along with then Limerick Superintendent Eamon O’Neill, at their respective homes, by detectives attached to the National Bureau of Criminal Investigation (NBCI), on May 15th, 2019.
