Gardaí logged Daly’s attendance at public event

The retired garda who made public the quashing of penalty points yesterday claimed Independent TD Clare Daly’s name was recorded on a criminal intelligence system when she attended a meeting at which the late Brian Lenihan was speaking.

Speaking on The Last Word on Today FM, John Wilson said he and his fellow whistleblower, a garda still serving, had been targeted for speaking out.

He said in one instance a rat had been tied to his door. He was then asked if he was aware of gardaí keeping tabs on politicians or prominent figures.
