Report Uncovers 400,000 more Falsified Breath Tests by Gardai

The Justice Minister says a report into fake breath tests presents a troubling picture of certain practices within the Gardaí.

An independent report into the inflation of breath tests and wrongful convictions has uncovered around 400 thousand more falsified tests.

Charlie Flanagan says he's deeply concerned at the serious failures of an Gardaí Siochana - while the acting Garda Commissioner admits the controversy has damaged public confidence.

Chair of the Policing Authority Josephine Feehily is warning it could happen again.
