    The full story of the single greatest scandal in Irish policing history – from the journalist who brought it into the national arena.

    When, in 2008, Sergeant Maurice McCabe complained of shoddy investigations into serious crime in County Cavan, nothing could have prepared him for what was in store.
    A career garda, McCabe never set out to be a whistleblower. However, over the following eight years, he exposed gross incompetence and corruption within An Garda Siochána. It ranged from a violent criminal being free to murder, to country-wide corruption in the policing of road safety.
    Along the way he paid a terrible price, enduring vilification, bullying and harassment by forces who wanted to silence him and his inconvenient truths. Worse still were the rumours of an extreme nature, which had a devastating effect on his whole family.
    McCabe’s actions ultimately led to some of the biggest reforms of An Garda Siochána since the foundation of the state, caused major political upheaval, and culminated in a Tribunal established in 2017, to examine whether there had been a smear campaign against him within the force.
    A Force For Justice reveals the story behind the scenes, of one man struggling to survive in the most challenging of circumstances. It is a dramatic account of a garda sergeant’s journey from a rural outpost into the heart of the Irish political and legal system.

  6. I hope Mrs D and her dad get what’s coming to them also. Still swanning around my locality like their shit doesn’t stink.
    Policing was an absolute shambles in this area during the time.

  7. It’s crazy shit but this is what really stated the smear campaign against Sergeant Maurice McCabe as it resulted in the Guerin Report.

    Jerry McGrath was convicted for murdering 33-year-old Sylvia Roche Kelly in Limerick in December 2007 – while on bail for other serious crimes.

    Earlier that year, in April 2007, McGrath had attacked taxi driver Mary Lynch after getting her to drive him from Kells, Co Meath to what he claimed was his sister’s house in Cavan. He was released on bail.

    Six months later, in October 2007, still on bail, McGrath was caught trying to abduct a five-year-old girl from a house in Tipperary, causing her injury. Again he was released on bail.

    The final – and fatal escalation – of McGrath’s violence came on the night he met Sylvia Roche-Kelly in a Limerick nightclub and took her back to his hotel room in the city, where he went into a rage, attacked and killed her. Her body was found naked, face down in a bath in the room on 8 December 2007.

  8. Great to see people being held accountable. It’s such a rarity these days.

  9. So they were caught and both let retire on pensions and 1 was even allowed remain anonymous. The people in charge of the most vulnerable children in society.

    We have a legal system, not a justice system.

  10. Tusla incompetence is truly breathtaking but this has always appeared to be slightly more sinister.
    It beggars belief that this was an error that remained unspotted despite numerous opportunities to correct but that it is this explanation rather than an intentional act of besmirching that we are being asked to believe in here. What are the chances that this series of events unfolded in this manner against a Garda ‘whistleblower’ that had already been subjected to intimidation and threats? Absolute joke that this piece of shit and the other fucking clown who was kept anonymous get state pensions.

  11. I know someone who’s dealing with Tusla over a false accusation (long story, but they’re 100% innocent). The case workers are completely incompetent. I figure it’s probably such a miserable job that the only people who stay there for long are the ones who can’t get a job somewhere else. The whole system needs to be rebuilt from scratch
