Lucinda Creighton urges probe into file destruction

Renua Ireland leader Lucinda Creighton has written to Garda Commissioner Noirín O’Sullivan to insist “potential criminal wrongdoing” involving her predecessor Martin Callinan’s destruction of files and a missing mobile phone SIM card must be examined immediately.

In a formal complaint made over the weekend, she insisted the issues must be investigated.

Two former cabinet members also said Mr Callinan has questions to answer over the revelations.
