Probe into garda actor on Love/Hate
An internal probe has been launched after a serving member of the Garda National Drug Unit played an undercover drugs detective in the RTE drama Love/Hate.

However, the role is played by Kieran O'Reilly who is a serving member of the Garda National Drug Unit in Dublin Castle. Acting is not a banned extra curricular activity under the garda code, however, the role he plays in the show is not dis-simialr to his day job investigating real-life drug gangs. An internal investigation has been launched into how Kieran O'Reilly got the part.
