Whistleblower: Ex-Garda confidential recipient hasn't explained his actions

One of two garda whistleblowers whose claims are now the subject of an independent inquiry says the former garda confidential recipient Oliver J Connolly has yet to explain his actions.

Mr Connolly, who was sacked by the Government a fortnight ago, issued a statement today (below) criticising opposition parties, the media and a whistleblower for revealing excerpts of alleged conversations taped without his knowledge.
