Probes into alleged Garda fraud

Disciplinary investigations have been launched into three cases of alleged fraud within An Garda Síochána relating to the altering of sick notes and the claiming of allowances when on sick leave, it can be revealed.

Documents from the Office of Garda Commissioner Drew Harris, obtained by the Irish Examiner, reveal that since 2016, three separate investigations have been launched into allegations “concerning the altering of medical certificates and the claiming of allowances whilst on sick leave”.
