Report into Barry Cowen drink driving leak 'imminent' as Taoiseach says door open for Cabinet return

A Garda investigation into the possible leaking of information to the media about Fianna Fail TD Barry Cowen’s drink-driving ban is “imminent,” the Irish Mirror understands.

Mr Cowen was sacked as Agriculture Minister in 2020 by Taoiseach Micheal Martin after he refused to make a second public statement about his drink-driving offence.

Mr Cowen apologised for the drink-driving offence which occurred in 2016 and said it was a “stupid, stupid mistake.”
