一名警察官员对关于枪套缺陷安全隐患的闭门纪律听证会提出异议，理由是公共安全和透明度。 A Garda officer challenges a closed disciplinary hearing over safety concerns with faulty gun holsters, citing public safety and transparency.

侦探总监Brian O'Reilly, 30年的警察退伍军人, 参加北约和中央情报局训练, 正在挑战工作场所关系委员会决定闭门举行纪律听证会。 Detective Superintendent Brian O’Reilly, a 30-year Garda veteran with NATO and CIA training, is challenging a Workplace Relations Commission decision to hold his disciplinary hearing behind closed doors. 他声称,他面临报复,包括减薪,因为有人担心,皮革枪套有缺陷,即使有保险,也能抽取武器。 他列举了2020年发生的一起事件,一名警察意外受伤,另一起事件是Garda Colm Horkan警探遭到致命枪击。 He claims he faced retaliation, including a pay cut, after raising concerns about defective leather gun holsters that could allow weapons to be drawn even when secured, citing a 2020 incident where a Garda was accidentally wounded and another where Detective Garda Colm Horkan was fatally shot. O’Reilly认为,保密会破坏公共透明度,特别是考虑到所涉的安全风险。 O’Reilly argues the secrecy undermines public transparency, especially given the safety risks involved. Garrett Simons法官裁定,闭门听证必须有严格的正当理由,并强调媒体在向公众通报涉及国家机构和公共安全的事项方面的关键作用。 Judge Garrett Simons ruled that closed hearings must be strictly justified and emphasized the media’s vital role in informing the public about matters involving state institutions and public safety. 案件在高等法院继续审理。 The case continues in the High Court.
