Justice department review for publication

A review into the running of the Department of Justice and how its officials handled allegations of garda misconduct is expected to be published in the coming days.

Justice Minister Frances Fitzgerald received the report two weeks ago and, because of its “comprehensive nature and scope”, is still studying its findings, according to a spokesperson.

The review was initiated in early June on foot of the Guerin report into Garda malpractice claims by whistleblower Sergeant Maurice McCabe.
