Garda investigation as coach suspended from Dublin pool

Swim Ireland say that they are cooperating with gardaí after the suspension of a coach at a Dublin pool.

The governing body of the sport said that a matter was raised with their National Children's Officer, who in line with their procedures, contacted the statutory authorities straight away.

The matter is now being investigated by the gardaí, and the coach has been suspended.

All relevant protocols are active, they said, and their priority is to offer appropriate support and to co-operate with the garda investigation.
