Investigation into Guerin report will give a voice to victims, says McCabe

Garda whistleblower Sergeant Maurice McCabe says the establishment of the commission of investigation into matters raised in the Guerin report will give a "voice" to the victims of cases that he highlighted.

Representatives of rank-and-file gardaí at the centre of those complaints said they had “nothing to hide” and said they have been calling for a statutory inquiry since the Guerin report was published eight months ago.

The Garda Representative Association said the Guerin report was “a set of allegations” based on the views of Sgt McCabe, which had left gardaí “tarnished”.
