Gardaí and supervisors at odds on breath test scandal

Public fractures have opened up in the Garda frontline with rank and file members and their supervisors at sharp odds over the breath test scandal.

It followed a circular sent by the leader of the Garda Representative Association (GRA), Pat Ennis, to its 10,000 members, stating that the association’s central executive committee (CEC) believed “AGSI members instructed our members to inflate figures”.

The AGSI was taken aback and angered by the specific naming and singling out of its members and yesterday wrote to the GRA taking it to task for its comments.
