TD reveals 'frightening' transcipt of Garda whistleblower conversation

A Garda whistleblower was told that Justice Minister Alan Shatter “will go after you” if he pursued his concerns about how penalty points were being written off by members of the force, the Dáil has heard.

A transcript of a conversation from two years ago between Garda Maurice McCabe and the Garda Síochána confidential recipient with whom he raised concerns, was read out in the Dáil chamber this morning by Independent TD Mick Wallace, who described it as “frightening”.
