Whistleblowers: Micheál Martin calls for answers over death of mum

Fianna Fáil leader Micheal Martin has said questions need to be answered by the justice minister and the force on whether failures by gardaí led to the murder of a mother of two in Limerick.

Mr Martin also said Alan Shatter did not have the humility to say sorry to a garda whistleblower over comments he made in the Dáil in October, that Sergeant Maurice McCabe had not co-operated with an internal Garda penalty points inquiry.

During a heated debate in the Dáil, Mr Shatter was asked about his handling of Sgt McCabe’s claims of garda malpractice and corruption.
