Shatter loses legal challenge over Guerin report

Mr Justice Seamus Noonan said he could not see how Mr Shatter, as a member of the Government that decided to obtain and publish the report compiled by barrister Sean Guerin, “can complain of the consequences”.
The report involved an expression of expert opinion, was “legally sterile” and Mr Shatter’s complaints appeared to concern its publication and later political consequences, the judge said.
