Disclosures Tribunal: Another apology given for another misunderstanding, another error

There was another apology for Maurice McCabe yesterday for another misunderstanding, another error which cast him in a nefarious light.

At issue here was the controversial document prepared for the O’Higgins commission which suggested McCabe had been intent on blackmailing a senior officer. The document had been prepared as a basis on which McCabe’s motivation in bringing forward his complaints of malpractice would be challenged.

That document formed one of a number which were the basis for stories — first published in the Irish Examiner — which showed what had transpired at behind the closed doors of the O’Higgins commission.
