‘Release Fennelly witness accounts’

“Contradictory” Fennelly interviews with Taoiseach Enda Kenny, the attorney general Máire Whelan, and others, must be immediately published to clarify concerns over the retirement of the former Garda commissioner Martin Callinan.

Fianna Fáil justice spokesman Niall Collins said transcripts of the interviews should be released to provide clarity on the “selective memory loss” he claims affected a number of people at the heart of the probe.

The 300-page interim report of the Fennelly commission into the reasons why Mr Callinan retired was published last Tuesday after months of delays over when it would be made public.
