‘Shatter should correct Dáil record’
The comments come ahead of debate this week on whether Mr Shatter should apologise for claiming last October that whistleblower Sgt Maurice McCabe did not co-operate with a Garda penalty points inquiry. Mr Shatter also faces questions he let serious claims of Garda malpractice by Sgt McCabe “run into the sand” for two years, including cases relating to murder, assault and abduction.
Mr White said yesterday: “I’d like to hear Minister Shatter address that, certainly. I mean the extent to which Sergeant McCabe looks dilatory or that he in some way acted improperly, I think that’s quite wrong and should actually be corrected and I would hope the opportunity would be taken to do that.”
