Today’s Irish Times

Martin Wall, in the Irish Times, reports:

“A serving civil servant has given an extensive dossier to the Dáil Public Accounts Committee making allegations of substantial tax evasion over an extended period of time involving, among others, senior politicians.
The senior civil servant has also maintained that various ministers over recent years and a number of State agencies failed to fully investigate the allegations.”

…

“The letter makes allegations regarding one former minister. Allegations are also made in the dossier about a former judge.”

“It is also claimed the evidence in the documentation could “be relevant to the defence of the State and of Mr Michael Lowry and Mr Denis O’Brien in the case being taken by the failed bidders in the 1995 mobile phone licence competition”.”

Hmmmm.

Further to claims that Justice Minister Alan Shatter has known about Sgt Maurice McCabe’s dossier – which allegedly shows cases of abduction, assault, rape and murder have not been properly investigated by members of the Gardaí – for two years, RTÉ News reports:

Independent TD Clare Daly has said Mr Shatter must account for the fact that he was in possession of very serious allegations for at least 18 months and stood over a situation where nothing was done.

She told RTÉ’s News At One that she has seen correspondence from December 2012 between the minister and the whistleblower saying that the complaints had been looked into and that they did not stand up.

Gulp.
