Breath test scandal ‘has been swept under carpet’

The breath test scandal has been “swept under the carpet”, according to a road safety lobby group.

Parc (Promoting Awareness, Responsibility, and Care) said that the decision by acting Garda Commissioner Dónall Ó Cualáin not to discipline gardaí for the mass falsification of breath tests sent out a “dangerous message” to gardaí on the ground.

Parc Road Safety Group chairwoman Susan Gray said she was left “exasperated” after watching the public meeting of the commissioner with the Policing Authority last week.
