Michael Clifford: Tribunal focus moves from Maurice McCabe to other whistleblower

The Disclosures Tribunal took a different turn when it reopened for business yesterday, writes Michael Clifford.

This module is the only one of the four scheduled which does not deal with allegations concerning the treatment of Sergeant Maurice McCabe.

Instead the focus for the next two to three weeks will be on the treatment of another garda member, Keith Harrison. He turned up at the inquiry yesterday in full uniform and took his place among the suits who occupy the legal benches.
