Transcript of conversation between Maurice McCabe and Mark Curran

On December 14, 2012, Sergeant Maurice McCabe was asked to remain on after work in Mullingar Garda Station.

He was visited by Chief Superintendent Mark Curran, who was to issue him with a direction from Garda Commissioner Martin Callinan. A few days earlier, Garda John Wilson had been discovered printing off records from the Pulse computer system in Cavan. As a result, garda management decided to issue a direction against both McCabe and Wilson in relation to using Pulse records. Both gardaí had over the previous months made complaints about the abuse of the penalty points system.

McCabe recorded the conversation on December 14 for his own protection.
