TI Ireland calls for Government to ‘set the record straight’ on Garda whistleblowers
Sgt McCabe should not continue to be penalised for telling the truth
Dublin, 25 March 2014
Transparency International Ireland (TI Ireland) has welcomed Commissioner Martin Callinan’s decision to resign today after he refused to withdraw remarks describing the actions of two Garda whistleblowers as ‘disgusting’. However, the anti-corruption organisation has now called on Minister for Justice, Alan Shatter, to also correct statements he made in public about Sgt Maurice McCabe and retired Garda John Wilson.
