Opposition warns claims of widespread corruption could damage trust in force

OPPOSITION parties yesterday expressed serious concern that garda corruption and indiscipline exposed by the latest three Morris Tribunal reports may not be confined to Donegal.

Fine Gael’s justice spokesman Jim O’Keeffe said suggestions of widespread indiscipline in the gardaí could further damage the trust between the force and the community.

“The revelations from Donegal were distressing in their own right, but Justice Morris’s claims of problems elsewhere in the gardaí must now be acted on,” he said.
