Justice Department’s stance on emails ‘not credible’

A review on the mishandling of emails about garda whistleblower Maurice McCabe raises fresh questions about the Department of Justice’s ability to answer queries or do its work.

That is the opinion of Labour’s Alan Kelly whose probing of the department prompted the review of the department’s actions.

A review concluded that certain documents were not handed over by the department to the Charleton Tribunal and that email accounts of senior officials were not searched for.
