A NUMBER of serving Limerick gardai and a retired garda superintendent are to stand trial for attempting to pervert the course of justice over a three-year period.
The five defendants were charged last month following a two-year investigation which was led by members of the Garda National Bureau of Criminal Investigation.
This morning, Detective Chief Superintendent Walter O Sullivan of GNBCI gave evidence at Limerick District Court of formally arresting and charging all five at Mayorstone garda station in the city on April 29.
None, he said, made any reply to charges which are contrary to common law.
