Social Democrats TD Catherine Murphy says bombshell allegations about the force’s Roads Policing Unit by the serving cop, first revealed by The Irish Mirror yesterday, are 'very concerning' for the force.

Claims by a garda that officers are falsely recording checkpoints after doing breathalyser tests themselves are set to be put to the Justice Minister.

We published the garda’s concerns on the alleged culture of laziness and carelessness in the unit yesterday, in which the member claims to have been intimidated over their proactive role.The letter further claims that gardai were told to carry out drink-driving checkpoints, which were never done.

Ms Murphy told us: "I’m just wondering what controls were put in place and are in place after the last time there were issues around testing at the side of the road."Because you then start seeing this show up in crime statistics that there would be a significant fall which may not be a fall at all if the testing is not being done."There should be sufficient controls in place to ensure that this doesn’t happen.
