Protected disclosure by former garda press officer 'essentially a work of fiction', Charleton Tribunal told

The protected disclosure made by former garda press officer Supt David Taylor "is essentially a work of fiction", lawyers for An Garda Síochana have told the Charleton Tribunal.

Shane Murphy SC was speaking during his closing submission to the tribunal, which is examining allegations from Supt Taylor that he was directed to brief negatively against garda whistleblower Sgt Maurice McCabe.
