Gardaí back call for points suspension

RANK-AND-FILE gardaí have backed a call by their bosses to suspend the expansion of penalty points until the scheme has been computerised.

The Association of Garda Sergeants and Inspectors (AGSI) said they did not support the introduction of new penalties while records still have to be compiled manually.

The Garda Representative Association (GRA) said the current penalty points system was inadequate.
