Maurice McCabe fearful over Charleton Tribunal

Garda whistleblower, Sergeant Maurice McCabe, has expressed concern at plans by senior members of the force to unite behind one legal team at the tribunal investigating an alleged smear campaign against him.

Commissioner Nóirín O’Sullivan, and her predecessor, Martin Callinan, applied jointly to the tribunal, through barrister, Conor Dignam, for legal representation at hearings due to begin in the coming months.

It is expected Mr Dignam will make applications for other senior officers, when hearings get under way.
