Statement of the Garda Commissioner Martin Callinan on the publication of the final report of the Smithwick Tribunal of Inquiry.
The Garda Commissioner has welcomed the publication of the final report of the Smithwick Tribunal. The report was received by the Garda Commissioner this evening on its publication. It extends to several hundred pages and appendixes reflecting eight years of work by the Tribunal. Given the serious matters under examination by the Tribunal, the report, conclusions and recommendations will now need to be carefully examined by the Garda Commissioner and his senior officers and it would be inappropriate to comment further at this stage.
