Alan Shatter attacks Enda Kenny after win in court

Former justice minister Alan Shatter has launched a blistering attack on his former party and government colleague Taoiseach Enda Kenny, for “ignoring concerns” over the report which forced his resignation from Cabinet.

Mr Shatter yesterday won his appeal against the High Court’s dismissal of his challenge to parts of the Guerin report concerning his handling of complaints by Garda whistleblower Sgt Maurice McCabe.

The three-judge Court of Appeal unanimously ruled Mr Shatter’s rights to natural justice and fair procedures were breached as a result of the procedure adopted by senior counsel Seán Guerin when compiling his May 2014 report examining Garda investigations of Sgt McCabe’s complaints alleging Garda misconduct.
