Sergeant Maurice McCabe, whose previous claims about GardaÍ wrongly quashing penalty points were upheld in the Guerin report, is now being asked to assist inquiries into the claims.

Meanwhile, the Justice Minister and interim Garda Commissioner are rejecting claims that the force is ill-disciplined and out of control.

Frances Fitzgerald and Noirin O'Sullivan say any infringements will be dealt with – with the utmost seriousness and action will be taken if necessary.
