Maurice McCabe: I felt like poison after ‘disgusting’ claim

The backlash Maurice McCabe faced after the Garda commissioner described the actions of whistleblowers as “disgusting” made him feel like he was “poison”, he told an RTÉ documentary last night.

A colleague of his described how the general feeling among gardaí following Martin Callinan’s comments to the Dáil Public Accounts Committee (PAC) was that “he [McCabe] was finished” and that he “won’t be making any more complaints”.
