Barrister Sean Guerin has asked the Supreme Court to hear an appeal against Alan Shatter's successful challenge to sections of his report concerning the former Justice Minister's handling of complaints of Garda whistleblower Sgt Maurice McCabe.

A three-judge Supreme Court, comprising the Chief Justice Ms Justice Susan Denham, Mr Justice Donal O’Donnell and Ms Justice Iseult O’Malley, will decide on a later date whether to hear Mr Guerin’s appeal.
