Mick revelation was not earth-Shattering. Why bother?

WELL, at least Justice Minister Alan Shatter has finally achieved something — though garnering sympathy for befuddled tax cheat, Mick Wallace, was probably not his intention.

Maybe it is the Minister’s love for all things Dr Who, but he revels in the politics of distraction.

Did he whip back in time, in his Tardis, to get the information he used to ambush Wallace live on Prime Time, namely that the Wexford TD and ‘anti-penalty points let-off’ campaigner had been let off penalty points, for using a mobile phone, by a roadside guard last year?
