An interesting report in today's [broken link removed]
Documents seen by The Irish Times show the details of the persons whose points were terminated, the reasons sometimes given for the termination, and in many cases Garda personnel numbers that appear to identify those who terminated the points.
Among those who have had their points terminated are two members of the judiciary.
...
A high-profile GAA figure has had points terminated four times, three times this year, including two offences recorded in a three-day period.
A prominent figure from RTÉ has also had points terminated, as has a journalist who has been well-known for several decades.
A former Fine Gael councillor has also had points terminated, as has a man who has played rugby for Ireland. The RTÉ figure and the man who has played rugby for Ireland were both recorded doing 150km/h in a 120km/h.
On point: speeding judge
A judge at the centre of the controversy around the termination of penalty points had points terminated three times.
Once the judge’s car was recorded driving at twice the legal speed limit – 101km/h in a 50km/h zone. The next day the car was detected travelling at 90km/h in the same location.
No points have been terminated. Penalty notices have been dropped.
They should be able to exercise discretion.

. Journalists never let the real truth get in the way of a story.
