21 serving or retired gardaí face further investigation over penalty points

Some 21 serving or retired gardaí are to be subject to further investigation in relation to the cancellation of penalty points.

They include two gardaí who terminated points after the introduction of strict rules by Garda commissioner Noirín O’Sullivan last June.

The 21 members are implicated in a total of 114 cancellations that an internal Garda inquiry said require deeper examination.
