flag Irish prosecutors dropped all charges against three Limerick gardaí over alleged interference in traffic penalty cases, citing investigation delays and lack of key evidence.

flag The Director of Public Prosecutions has dropped all charges against three Limerick gardaí—Peter O’Donnell, Paul Baynham, and Niall Deegan—after a six-year investigation into allegations they interfered with traffic penalty prosecutions between 2017 and 2019. flag The officers, suspended since 2020 and facing 33 counts of perverting justice, will not stand trial, with the DPP citing delays, budgetary issues, and failure to secure key witness testimony. flag The decision follows a prior acquittal in a similar case and has prompted calls for an independent review into the prosecution’s approach. flag No further details were released.
