Mick Wallace and Clare Daly Question Shatter about Policing of Corrib

By:

Shell to Sea

Mick Wallace and Clare Daly invite Justice Minister Alan Shatter to initiate an independent inquiry into the policing of Corrib - his response? He could purchase twice as many vehicles for the Gardaí if there were no protests! Minister Shatter also tries to imply that GSOC have chosen not to initiate an investigation into practices, policies and procedures of policing Corrib - when in fact under current legislation ministerial permission is required for such a "106" investigation and this is something which no Minister for Justice has ever given...

Deputies Daly and Wallace also question Minister Shatter about the investigations into the alleged deliveries of alcohol to Belmullet Garda station.

Blast from the Past

Gardaí, GSOC, ‘whistleblower reprisal’, Corrib Gas and the ‘rape tape’

Garda whistleblower Maurice McCabe’s first contact with a TD came about because he saw Clare Daly TD on ‘Tonight with Vincent Browne’ talking about policing of Corrib Gas protests, writes William Hederman

The repercussions for Garda whistleblowers Maurice McCabe and John Wilson will be familiar to others who have publicly embarrassed An Garda Síochána. They were clearly acting in the public interest, but their revelations brought the force into disrepute, and the two men suffered as a result. Revenge was exacted – not only by colleagues, but also by way of public denunciation by the Garda Commissioner (“disgusting”), the Minister for Justice (“not co-operating”) and by various other parties loyal to the force.
