Dr keen to stress he believed Callinan

The Disclosures Tribunal was treated to a splash of celebrity yesterday, but the tidings brought further troubling detail of how An Garda Síochána operated at the highest level.

Gerald Kean is a celebrity solicitor and bon vivant. He got drawn into the garda whistleblower matter over an appearance on the Marian Finucane radio show in January 2014.

At the time, a raging controversy was blowing over an appearance at the Public Accounts Committee the previous week by then garda commissioner Martin Callinan.
