Whistleblower investigation sets out ambitious timeline for final report

The Disclosure Tribunal has set out an ambitious timeline to investigate allegations of orchestrated smear campaigns against garda whistleblowers, writes Elaine Loughlin and Fiachra Ó Cionnaith.

The first interim report of the tribunal chaired by Mr Justice Peter Charleton said “nothing increases expense more than delay” and it will press ahead with speed. The tribunal, set up in February, will now break its work into five “substantial” sections.
