Mr Justice Peter Charleton renewed his call for information about an alleged smear campaign at the Disclosures Tribunal on 1 June 2018. The inquiry concerned allegations that senior gardaí smeared whistleblower Sergeant Maurice McCabe.

Charleton said anyone who knew information that could assist the inquiry had a patriotic duty to come forward. The tribunal was scheduled to finish hearing evidence by the middle of June.

The tribunal also heard evidence from journalists about claims concerning allegations made against McCabe, with several people disputing parts of that evidence.
