Charleton Tribunal should disregard witness evidence in favour of former commissioner, garda lawyer says
The Charleton Tribunal should disregard the evidence of four witnesses, including two TDs, in favour of the testimony of former commissioner Martin Callinan, a barrister for An Garda Síochána has said.
Shane Murphy SC said that the evidence of the four men - journalist Philip Boucher-Hayes, TDs, John McGuinness and John Deasy and comptroller and auditor general Seamus McCarthy - could not be regarded as corroborating each other, as they were each alleging different things were said during conversations with Mr Callinan about whistleblower Sgt Maurice McCabe.
