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.
A disciplinary panel's recommended the highly respected Westmeath Garda should be completely cleared.
Deputy General Secretary with the GRA, James Morrisroe, says the fallout from such cases is unacceptable:
A midlands senator will be "making his feelings known" to garda representatives in the wake of the exoneration of a Westmeath garda after a three year suspension.
Longford Fine Gael Senator Micheál Carrigy says he wants to see regulations changed immediately around internal investigations.
Senator Carrigy says there's no commen sense at play in the current system:
