Apology to McCabe was ‘brazen hypocrisy’

The Government’s apology to Garda whistleblower Sergeant Maurice McCabe was a “blatant, brazen piece of hypocrisy” the Dáil has heard.

Fianna Fáil TD John McGuinness, who was a key witness in the Charleton Tribunal, said Sgt McCabe was highlighting issues in the force for 12 years but the Government “stood idly by and did nothing” until it was forced to act.
