Mullingar whistleblower still being harassed says Wallace

The Mullingar based Garda whistleblower Sergeant Maurice McCabe is still being harrassed by colleagues, according to Deputy Mick Wallace.

"He is suffering harassment and abuse," Mr Wallace said.

"He has been told by senior officers that he destroyed the force. He has reported the abuse through the proper channels. And there is no change.

"It is hard to believe that a man who has been so selfless and relentless in the pursuit of justice could still be treated like this, given all we now know."

The Wexford independent TD made the claims in the Dail yesterday during a debate on his proposed bill, which wants to strengthen the Garda Ombudsman.

The minister for justice Frances Fitzgerald said that she would address the claims with the acting Garda Commissioner, Noirin O'Sullivan.
