’My conscience will remain clear,’ says Nóirín O’Sullivan’s barrister on Sgt McCabe’s cross-examination

A senior barrister who challenged garda whistleblower Maurice McCabe at the Commission of Investigation into allegations of garda malpractice has said his conscience is clear.

Colm Smyth SC and two junior barristers represented former Garda Commissioner Nóirín O’Sullivan and certain senior officers at the 2015 O’Higgins Commission of investigation into complaints about garda conduct in the Cavan/Monaghan division.
