Maurice McCabe finished giving evidence at the Disclosures Tribunal on 6 March 2018, after cross-examination about allegations involving former garda press officer David Taylor, Martin Callinan and Nóirín O’Sullivan.

McCabe maintained that Taylor told him Callinan directed negative briefings and that messages referred to a 2006 sexual-abuse allegation, which McCabe had been exonerated over. Taylor’s counsel disputed parts of that account, including whether the messages referred to the allegation. The tribunal was due to hear submissions before reconvening on 20 March.
