Well, it depends on how you define corruption.

Get paid backhanders to quash penalty points, that's corruption.

Quash penalty points as a favour for someone you know, that's just being obliging perhaps?

I predict that this will be swept under the carpet. So much for whistle blowing.

Hear no Evil, See no Evil and Speak no Evil.

You actually get penalised by being honest whilst working within An Garda Síochána it would appear. Cannot imagine the whistle-blowers' working life has been enjoyable since their strong ethics and honesty spilled over and they spoke up.

Difficult situation to comprehend.

Nothing will happen to those cops... Just like the cop in Balbriggan when the money went missing (stolen) a file was sent to the DPP so that's end of story

A journalist doing journalism :eek:
Report ignored bizarre points practices

The Garda report into allegations surrounding the termination of penalty points failed to highlight several serious issues that point to a more widespread culture
An examination of Garda records of more than 100 cases shows that issues over repeat offenders, bizarre reasons for terminating points, or for no reason at all, and the role of gardaí, both in benefiting from and authorising the termination of points, were largely absent from the report.
The report concluded that allegations about repeat offenders were largely unfounded, but the records seen show examples such as eight terminations for three family members in one case, and multiple terminations with no reason at all attached in others.
In one case, a motorist in the south-east had two notices cancelled with no reason at all, and a third cancelled for “speeding due to illness”.

Commissioner confirms a number of gardaí to be disciplined after penalty points report

Minister for Transport Leo Varadkar said he believes the Ombudsman Commission should now investigate the penalty points controversy. He said: "Reading through the report, particularly reading the appendices and the different cases, I have to say that I got the sense, not so much that they'd looked at the underbelly of this, but that in a lot of cases they were explaining away penalty point terminations that to the reasonable person seemed a little bit unusual."

The RSA has stated similar reservations.
