A former Revenue Commissioner official, who was a suspect in the unsolved murder of his wife in 1992, has issued a claim for damages against the State.
James Livingstone, 67, of The Moorings, Malahide, in Dublin, claims the gardaí were guilty of negligence and breach of duty in the management of the investigation into the murder of Grace Livingstone.
The action is also being taken by his daughter, Tara Beauchamp, and his son, Conor Livingstone.
The State denies the allegation.
