A Dublin woman has admitted giving bogus information to the GSOC during an investigation.
At Dublin District Court today, Julie Browning pleaded guilty to a single charge of giving information that was false or misleading to the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission in 2012.
Earlier in the proceedings, Browning had intended to contest the case but today Dublin District Court heard she was now admitting the offence.
Browning, Dermot O’Dwyer House, Hardwicke Street, has been charged under section 110 of the Garda Síochána Act 2005.
The charge states that she gave information she knew to be false or misleading to the commission at its office on Abbey Street in October 2012, in relation to a complaint or investigation.
Her solicitor Michael Hanahoe told Judge Conal Gibbons she was pleading guilty after which the case was adjourned. However, when it resumed, Mr Hanahoe said the State had "difficulties" going ahead and no evidence was given.
Judge Gibbons agreed to grant a six-week adjournment.
Browning remained seated at the back of the courtroom.
