A garda whistleblower has accused a superintendent of “massaging” crime figures down and of trying to discredit him by undermining his work. “All queries and questions were answered in detail on Pulse,” Garda Keogh told Judge Ryan. Mr McGuinness asked how the re-classification amounted to harassment or bullying of Garda Keogh. “Firstly, it’s the massaging of crime figures,” said Garda Keogh. Tribunal chair Mr Justice Seán Ryan suggested that “fiddling” of crime figures might be what Garda Keogh was alleging, to which Garda Keogh said: “I’m not alleging corruption.”
