Shatter demands apology from Sindo following 'dishonest' front page story

The Justice Minister is calling for the Sunday Independent to publish an apology and correct the record, regarding the papers front page story this morning.

In a statement this afternoon, Alan Shatter says the Taoiseach is wrongly accused in the report of having asked Minister Shatter "meddle" or "intervene" in a family law court case.

The Justice Minister described the article as thoroughly dishonest and inaccurate, which highlighted a gross misrepresentation of the correspondence that took place between him and the Taoiseach.

Alan Shatter has rejected the Sunday Independent's allegations that the Taoiseach ask him "to meddle in family case" - and is calling for a retraction.
