Michael Clifford: When will Garda 'corruption probe' spread to Dublin?

More than 100 gardaí have now been interviewed in ticket-squaring investigation, but there are many questions about its operation

Last month, the president of the Garda Representative Association, Frank Thornton, issued a circular to members in the Limerick division, noting there was 'plummeting morale' as the investigation was causing 'trauma and mental torture' to rank and file members.

When will the major inquiry into garda corruption spread to Dublin? Currently, what has been repeatedly referred to in the media as a “corruption probe” is taking place in the Limerick division of An Garda Síochána. 

At the weekend it was reported that a very senior officer is the latest to be interviewed by the Garda National Bureau of Criminal Investigation (NBCI) in connection with the corruption.
