I wish to focus specifically on the two gardaí who came forward in respect of the quashing of these penalty points. Those two individuals clearly say that they brought this matter to the attention of the authorities in March 2012. They went directly to the confidential recipient within An Garda Síochána, as per procedure, and they attached their names to this matter from the start. The witness's earlier evidence suggests that he came upon this matter in December and that the matter was from an anonymous source. That does not tally with what the two gardaí in question, one of them a former garda, are saying.
