Disclosures Tribunal: Judge who met whistleblower 'shocked' to hear details revealed in Dáil

A judge appointed to receive a confidential Garda whistleblowing claim was “shocked” to hear that the details had been read out in the Dáil on the same day he took the disclosure, a tribunal has heard.

Retired District Court Judge Patrick McMahon told the Disclosures Tribunal today that he heard on lunchtime radio that his name and details about the disclosure had been read out in the Dáil by then-TD Luke 'Ming' Flanagan on May 8, 2014.
