A Garda superintendent told a trial on Wednesday that he and a colleague seized summons sheets, mobile phones, computer equipment, and documents when they raided the office of a Limerick Garda superintendent, who is accused of interfering in road traffic prosecutions.

Supt Cormac Brennan, who was a detective inspector attached to the Garda National Bureau of Criminal Investigation (GNBCI) at the time, said he and a colleague spent five-and-a-half hours searching Supt Eamon O’Neill’s office at Roxboro Road Garda Station, Limerick, under warrant, at 7am, on May 16, 2019.
