The Minister for Justice, Alan Shatter, is a liar.
Here’s his lie.
There are serious issues around a member of An Garda Siochana liberally accessing confidential information on the Pulse system and distributing it to the general public.
Shatter made this statement in the full knowledge that what he was saying was untrue. That makes him a liar.
So what’s new? Normal Irish politics!
There is not a shred of evidence that the whistle blowers distributed any information to the general public.If Shatter said that under Dail privilege he should be compelled to withdraw it–if he said it in any other forum the whistle blowers should be consulting their legal advisers
It is my believe that all sitting Dáil members, of all persuasions and none, are liars.
Votes notwithstanding, I believe it is the ability to lie that remains the crucial factor required for membership.
So Shatter being a liar is not news.
Though your putting it thus, is.
Shatter said it on RTE and the whistleblowers are consulting their legal advisors
