A whistleblower garda has accused a superintendent of "massaging" down crime figures and of trying to discredit him by undermining his police work. The tribunal, which is investigating how Gda Keogh was treated after he made a 2014 protected disclosure, heard that four investigations by Gda Keogh were criticised by Superintendent Patrick Murray. "All queries and questions were answered in detail on Pulse," Gda Keogh told Judge Ryan. Gda Keogh told the judge that the re-classifications and the scrutiny his work received amounted to the "discrediting of my policing work". Judge Ryan suggested that "fiddling" of crime figures might be what Gda Keogh was alleging, to which Gda Keogh said: "I'm not alleging corruption."
