Two gardai accused of false imprisonment of a Dublin teenager with a "propensity to violence" and more than 50 prior criminal convictions have been cleared of any wrongdoing.

The then 15-year-old boy, who was awaiting trial for robbery, had claimed he was held against his will and beaten up at Sundrive Road station in Dublin after going there to sign on as a bail requirement.

Garda Stephen Conran, 40, and now retired Garda Sergeant Damian Kirwan, 56, were charged with false imprisonment of the boy on the morning of April 20, 2021, at Sundrive Road Garda station.
