爱尔兰警官因提出枪套安全问题而败诉处罚。 Irish officer loses lawsuit over punishment for raising gun holster safety concerns.

爱尔兰一名高级警官Brian O'Reilly丢失了一个法庭案件,声称他因对警察使用皮枪套提出安全关切而受到惩罚。 A senior Irish police officer, Brian O’Reilly, lost a court case claiming he was punished for raising safety concerns about leather gun holsters used by Garda officers. 他辩称，这些由非专业马具厂提供的枪套存在意外走火风险，且与2020年一起枪击事件及警探科尔姆·霍尔坎的谋杀案有关。 He argued the holsters, supplied by a non-specialist saddlery, posed risks of accidental discharges and were linked to a 2020 shooting incident and the murder of Detective Garda Colm Horkan. 尽管提出了证据并声称遭到报复,包括可能失去住所,但一名法官裁定,没有足够证据证明警察专员对他告密予以处罚。 Despite presenting evidence and alleging retaliation, including potential loss of his home, a judge ruled there was insufficient proof the Garda Commissioner penalized him for whistleblowing. 安全关切仍然有据可查,但没有任何报复得到证实。 The safety concerns remain documented, but no retaliation was proven.
