Seán Guerin 'needs to explain himself' over McCabe report, says Shatter

Former Minister for Justice Alan Shatter has said he still does not understand why Government-commissioned barrister Seán Guerin went outside his terms of reference in his report into allegations of Garda misconduct by Sgt Maurice McCabe.

The Guerin report had said that Mr Shatter did not heed concerns raised by Garda whistleblower Sergeant McCabe. However, the subsequent O'Higgins Commission found Mr Shatter had treated Sgt McCabe's concerns "very seriously".
