Break-in sparks Shatter security review

Garda chiefs will conduct a review of security arrangements for Justice Minister Alan Shatter following a break-in at his home.

A uniformed garda on patrol near Mr Shatter’s south Dublin home heard a house alarm and initiated a search for a burglar after she found the minister’s house had been broken into.

Mr Shatter is in Australia on a St Patrick’s Day visit and there was no one in the house at the time.
