Things get even stranger for gardaí

These are strange days indeed for An Garda Síochána, and things got a little stranger yesterday in Dublin Castle.

The Disclosures Tribunal heard about a former press officer in the force who had 11,000 contacts with journalists over a three-month period AFTER he had left the press office.

While the man in question, Superintendent Dave Taylor, may have been a font of information outside the press office, those within it apparently knew next to nothing about the whistleblower Sergeant Maurice McCabe.
