- BY DAVID RALEIGH

A RETIRED Garda superintendent gave evidence in court yesterday that he "looked after" hundreds of summonses while in the role.

The court also heard he received almost daily requests about such matters, including from Garda Commissioners and elected TDs.

Retired Limerick Divisional Superintendent Sean Corcoran, with an address in Co Clare, was giving evidence in the trial of retired Superintendent Eamon O'Neill and four serving gardai.

All five accused deny charges they acted unlawfully in quashing pending or potential road traffic summonses for motorists.
