Internal Investigation System For Gardaí "Broken" Says GRA

A midlands Garda was suspended for giving a pensioner a bicycle without filling out the proper parer work.

The Garda system for internal investigations is broken, according to the Garda Representative Association.

It comes after a midlands Garda was suspended for three years after his home was raided for giving a pensioner a bicycle without the required paper work.

Longford Fine Gael Senator Micheál Carrigy says he wants to see regulations changed immediately around internal investigations.
