Retired superintendent 'looked after' hundreds of summonses, court told

A retired superintendent and four gardaí deny charges they acted unlawfully in quashing pending or potential road traffic summonses for motorists.

A retired Garda Superintendent gave evidence in court on Wednesday that he “looked after” hundreds of summonses while in the role and that he received almost daily requests about such matters — including from Garda commissioners and elected TDs.

Retired Limerick Divisional Superintendent Seán Corcoran, with an address in Co Clare, was giving evidence in the trial of retired Superintendent Eamon O’Neill and four serving gardaí at Limerick Circuit Criminal Court.
