Garda’s claims of McCabe contact rejected

Claims by the acting Garda commissioner, Noirín O’Sullivan, that senior Garda management are in contact with Sergeant Maurice McCabe over ongoing harassment have been rejected by sources close to him.

Ongoing harassment of the whistleblower within the force, despite vindication by Sean Guerin, was raised in the Dáil by independent TD Mick Wallace on Tuesday.

Ms O’Sullivan told the Justice Committee yesterday that “senior Garda management are supportive of Sgt McCabe and in contact with him on a daily basis”.
