General Secretary yesterday." In February 2021, it was announced by the Garda Síochána that Cassidy is to face charges over alleged breaches of Covid-19 regulations by arranging by golf dinner. On 3 February 2022, Cassidy and his co-defendants were acquitted of all charges they faced. The Court concluded: “They were all responsible people who would not have gone to a dinner unless they felt comfortable and unless the organisers had not put in place all that was required to make it safe. I’m satisfied the organisers did everything to comply - not in a court of public opinion - but in the court of law in my opinion. Unfortunately, very good people lost very good jobs and very good contracts and just to clarify, I didn’t make my decision based on that." Grealish said he was "delighted with the outcome".
