Callinan: Penalty points allegations are of 'huge concern'

The Garda Commissioner says any allegations of impropriety against members of the force is a matter of huge concern.

An internal garda investigation is underway into claims that thousands of penalty points have been written off for motorists.

Martin Callinan has appointed Assistant Commissioner John O’Mahoney to examine the allegations and compile a report.

He says any wrong doing in the force will be highlighted and dealt with.

“Any allegation of impropriety, regardless of whether it is a junior member of the force or a senior officer, is a matter of huge concern and public interest.

“That is why it is so important that we allow the assistant commissioner’s team to get on with this business and reaching proper conclusions at the end of the day.

“That’s what we intend to do.”
