Justice Issues: Statements
8:05 pm
Charles Flanagan (Laois, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
In pursuit of that truth and justice the disclosures tribunal has a critical job to do. I believe Mr. Justice Charleton has acted in the public interest by bringing forward to 8 January the public hearings at which he will examine the allegations that there was a malicious campaign against Sergeant McCabe during the O'Higgins commission. I acknowledge the role played by many journalists who have written on this issue. I also acknowledge the role of this House, but we must all agree that a tribunal offers a special order of status, depth and rigour. I wish Mr. Justice Charleton well in his vital work that lies ahead.
