Alan Shatter not owed an apology by Taoiseach, says Simon Coveney
Housing Minister Simon Coveney rejected the call for an apology after the court of appeal last week found Mr Shatter’s rights were breached because his views were not sought by the State inquiry into how whistleblowers were handled.
In several comments in recent days, Mr Shatter has said the report and its findings — which, it emerged at the weekend, is now the subject of attempts by senior gardaí to have it annulled despite highlighting serious problems in the force — ultimately contributed to his resignation as minister.
