-----admit that he got it wrong. It transpires that in this entire episode the Minister was the only person who accused Sergeant Maurice McCabe of not co-operating with Assistant Commissioner O'Mahony's report. Nobody else made that assertion. Assistant Commissioner O'Mahony did not make that assertion. Nowhere is it to be found in his report. If Sergeant McCabe had not co-operated, he would have been subject to internal Garda disciplinary action. The Minister's behaviour on this one was appalling.
