McDowell ‘must back up bribery remark’
The Association of Garda Sergeants and Inspectors (AGSI) called on Mr McDowell to back up his statement with evidence or withdraw it altogether.
"The Minister has quoted one newspaper columnist's statement that some gardaí are being bribed by some journalists as a supporting argument for some of his proposals for the new Garda Síochána Bill," said AGSI president, Joe Dirwan.
