No Evidence Found In Penalty Points Investigation

No evidence has been found that garda quashed penalty points from drivers’ licenses, following an investigation and report was produced for the government.

The investigation did find that some gardaí were too “liberal” in complying with requests to terminate points and did not follow procedures when doing so. Some may face disciplinary action.

However, it concluded there is no criminal case to answer by any gardaí or those whose points were terminated, and that no gardaí received any reward, monetary or otherwise, for clearing points from licences.
