Two inspectors and superintendent to be disciplined over penalty points cancellation

Disciplinary procedures have started against two Garda Inspectors and one Superintendent over the cancellation of penalty points.

A full report into the matter will be published today, after an internal garda investigation was ordered to look into claims the practice of overturning the penalties was widespread.

The claim was made by a whistleblower in the force who contacted the Departments of Transport and Justice.

Independent TD's Clare Daly, Mick Wallace, Joan Collins and Luke "Ming" Flanagan said they were also supplied with a dossier of drivers names who had penalty points wiped.

However the names of those who had points quashed won't be revealed.
