An independent investigation has concluded that Irish police officers committed no criminal offence or disciplinary breach in connection with the death of Evan Fitzgerald at a Carlow shopping centre last year.
The Fiosrú report determined that the actions of the gardaí who responded to the incident were within protocol.
The investigation was explicitly restricted to the events that unfolded inside the shopping centre, excluding broader contextual factors from its scope.
Fitzgerald took his own life during the police response.
The findings provide a formal conclusion to the inquiry into the officers' conduct during the fatal encounter.
The report does not address wider policy questions regarding police response procedures in public spaces, focusing solely on the specific actions of the personnel involved on the day of the incident.
