Dónall Ó Cualáin apologises over controversial garda station re-opening report

Acting Garda Commissioner Dónall Ó Cualáin has apologised to the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) for misleading it over the release of a report into the controvesial re-opening of Stepaside Garda Station.

At a meeting of the committee in July under questioning from Social Democrats TD Catherine Murphy, Mr Ó Cualáin told members that an internal report would be made available in a matter of days, but to date the report has not been released.

The delay in providing the report to the PAC was yesterday slammed by its chairman Seán Fleming, who demanded full transparency.
