The senior GSOC investigator who quit after he was confronted for claiming he attended a party with Gerry Hutch is set to leave Ireland, it is feared.
Sources have told the Irish Mirror that former colleagues of the man believe he could fly out of the country as early as this week.
And they also told us that GSOC, which is a civilian body that investigates allegations of wrongdoing against gardai, has no power to compel the man to talk because he has resigned.
