Yesterday’s High Court ruling was the latest setback in attempts by the former Minister for Justice to right what he sees as the wrongs that led to his resignation. This man has a particularly annoying bee in his bonnet, and there’s no sign of it departing anytime soon.
Mr Shatter resigned on May 7, 2014, after reading extracts from the Guerin report, which was about to be published. The report into allegations of garda malpractice by Sergeant Maurice McCabe had criticised Mr Shatter for his handling of some aspects of the allegations.
