Three NCT inspectors dismissed after TV allegations

THREE of the seven NCT vehicle inspectors suspended for allegedly passing unroadworthy cars in return for cash have been sacked.

A statement issued by the operator of the National Car Test, Applus, confirmed three staff had been dismissed and investigations into allegations made on RTÉ’s Prime Time Investigates were continuing.

“National Car Testing Service is committed to ensuring that any potential for fraudulent activity within the test system is eradicated and investigations into the allegations made will continue in conjunction with a formal report submitted to An Garda Síochána by NCTS,” they said.
