press release
Sunday May 11, 2014 21:21 by Shell to Sea
Shell to Sea notes the resignation of Alan Shatter and his replacement by Frances Fitzgerald as Minister for Justice as a long overdue development. Terence Conway, Shell to Sea spokesperson, says “Alan Shatter showed contempt for everybody who raised issues of wrongdoing in an Garda Siochána and it was clear he never had any intention of dealing with institutional corruption in the Gardaí. We ask that his successor takes immediate action to deal with the blatant abuses of power that, unfortunately, are rampant within the force.” While Mr Shatter came under strong criticism for his handling of the Garda whistleblowers, the bugging of GSOC's offices and the penalty points controversy, his refusal to consider any investigation of Garda policies, tactics and procedures in relation to the policing of the Shell/Corrib dispute was nothing short of beligerent. Not only did Minister Shatter rebuke every call for an inquiry into the Gardaí in relation to this matter, he also engaged in a hostile campaign to discredit the legitimate protests that have taken place in north Mayo since 2002, consistently refering to “protest tourism” and attempting to obscure the fact that opposition to Shell/Corrib stems first and foremost from local residents who have never been properly consulted nor given their consent for the imposition of a massive industrial project in the heart of their community.

It is about time that the policing of Corrib was investigated.

Jump To Comment: 3 2 1The Guerin Report was published last Friday. The very brief press release is found below.

The Irish Times reported Fri 9th May that former minister for Justice, Alan Shatter is shown in bad light in the report which is true for as it says:
Guerin’s report shows the only action taken by the Department or the Minister was to refer the matter back to the Garda Commissioner.
The key paragraph of Guerin reads: “In effect the process of determining McCabe’s complaints went no further than the Minister receiving and acting upon the advice of the person who was the subject of the complaint [the Commissioner].”
For someone of Shatter's calibre and intellect, it is unbelievable that he simply took the word of the commissioner at face value. Surely all his years of politics would have thought him that there is practically no situation where it makes sense to do this.
