‘Fundamental wrong’ done to motorists, says AGSI boss

A “fundamental wrong” was done to motorists who were incorrectly convicted for not paying their fixed charge notices, according to the head of the organisation representing supervisory gardaí.

Antoinette Cunningham, president of the Association of Garda Sergeants & Inspectors, has apologised to the nearly 15,000 people affected by the error.

“For anybody who was wrongly convicted in the court of an offence, they have to be justifiably aggrieved, and they are the people who we live and work with in our communities and who we work with on a daily basis,” she said.
