Maurice McCabe felt he had ‘no choice but to quit gardaí’

Sergeant Maurice McCabe would have kept working in An Garda Síochána but believed he couldn’t go back after everything that had happened to him, his solicitor said yesterday.

Speaking after the Irish Examiner revealed the retirement of Sgt McCabe, Sean Costello said the decision was “sad in many ways” but that the whistleblower felt it was the “only decision” available to him.
