The Garda Commissioner is to meet with Majella Moynihan and offer an apology for how she was  treated in the force over 30 years ago.

Arrangements are being made for Drew Harris to meet with the former Garda.

Ms Moynihan revealed in an RTE documentary that she was threatened with dismissal when she had a baby with a colleague outside of marriage in the 1980s.

Following an investigation, she was charged with two counts under the 1971 Garda Síochána Regulations, which related to premarital sex, and giving birth outside marriage.

The Garda Commissioner and the Minister for Justice Charlie Flanagan have issued statements apologising to Ms Moynihan.

Mr. Harris will now deliver his apology in person.
