A LIMERICK sports ground was searched Tuesday in a major garda probe into allegations of match-fixing.

Detectives from the GNECB – based in Harcourt Square in Dublin – were supported by gardai attached to the Limerick Division for the planned operation.
A garda spokeswoman stated: “Gardaí can confirm a search took place this evening, Tuesday 3rd September, 2019 in Limerick at a sports ground.”
“An ongoing investigation is taking place and members from a national unit and local members conducted the search.”
