McGrath not satisfied with Shatter's response

Independent TD Mattie McGrath is still questioning whether the Minister for Justice was stopped at a Garda checkpoint in 2011.

The Tipperary Deputy asked in the Dáil yesterday whether Alan Shatter provided a breath sample after being stopped between the general election of that year and being appointment to Cabinet weeks later.

The Minister admitted last night that he was stopped in either 2008 or 2009 and was unable to complete a breathalyser because of his asthma.

Alan Shatter's statement explained that he was then waved on by gardaí after explaining that he was returning home from the Dáil.

However this evening Mattie McGrath said that he will stand corrected when he see's all the documentation relating to the incident in question.
