Fennelly Fallout: Creighton plans to make formal complaint to gardaí

Renua Ireland leader Lucinda Creighton is to make a formal complaint to gardaí over revelations that potentially vital files belonging to ex-Garda commissioner Martin Callinan were destroyed before they could be examined by the Fennelly report.

Responding to the 300-page document’s finding that Mr Callinan binned 10 black bags of notes from his office and that a SIM card for his mobile phone is missing, Ms Creighton said the matter “merits a full investigation” and that she will force one to happen if it does not occur.

Speaking at her party’s inaugural think-in before the Dáil’s return this month, Ms Creighton said it is deeply worrying that potentially key information held by a central figure in the ongoing controversy cannot be found.
