Legal action risk in breath test probes

Frontline gardaí will consider legal options if the Garda Commissioner pursues disciplinary proceedings against members for falsifying breath tests.

The Garda Representative Association (GRA) is expected to consider taking judicial review proceedings if they believe the disciplinary mechanism breaches legal requirements of fair procedure and due process.

The association is expected to meet acting commissioner Dónall Ó Cualáin in the coming weeks and is likely to raise the disciplinary matter then.
