Arts Minister contradicts GSOC's decision not to pursue Gardaí who illegally scrapped penalty points

Newly appointed Arts Minister Josepha Madigan has contradicted GSOC's controversial decision not to pursue gardai who illegally scrapped penalty points, saying there must be accountability on the issue, writes Political Correspondent, Fiachra Ó Cionnaith.

Ms Madigan made the comments after Fine Gael was criticised by Fianna Fáil finance spokesperson Michael McGrath and Sinn Féin justice spokesperson Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire over concerns guilty gardai will not face further action because of the costs involved.
