Mass interviews of gardaí in Munster probe begins

The first 15 of almost 100 gardaí due to be spoken to as part of a massive investigation into alleged corruption in Munster are expected to be interviewed this week, the Irish Examiner understands.

The interviews are being carried out by officers from the National Bureau of Criminal Investigation, which has been conducting inquiries for more than two years in the region.
