GRA says commission of inquiry will shed light on allegations of garda misconduct
A senior member of the Garda Representative Association (GRA) says he will not "speculate" on whether Maurice McCabe was right to bring allegations of garda misconduct into the public domain.
The whistleblower's actions were vindicated in the findings of a report by senior counsel Seán Guerin published last May.
However the GRA is objecting to the delay in setting up a commission of inquiry, which the Government promised after the publication of the Guerin report
Cavan-based garda James Morrisroe, a member of the GRA executive committee, says the inquiry would bring more information to light.
"His (Guerin's) recommendations are that a commission of inquiry be set up to look into the allegations - and let's be clear about this: they're only allegations at the minute, they're not facts," Gda Morrisroe said.
When asked if he thought Maurice McCabe was right to put these allegations in the public domain, he replied: "Well that's for the commission of inquiry to sort out - it's not for me to speculate on that".
