Two gardaí serving in the Limerick Garda Division were returned for trial on Thursday morning, accused of a number of counts of intending to pervert the course of justice as part of a Garda investigation into the alleged squaring away of Fixed Charge Notices (FCNs) in respect of road traffic offences.

The prosecution, which is being brought by the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), followed a Garda investigation led by detectives attached to the Garda National Bureau of Criminal Investigation (GNBCI).
