    Now that the Ian Bailey trial is well and truly over with when can we expect to see a report from the Fennelly Commission?

    I'd say it will be held back until after the two referenda are held, no point in unnecessary rocking of the boat until then.

    You're probably right and that's disgraceful. People need to know what exactly happened so we can restore confidence in the Gardaí. Ya have to wonder why the government are so slow to publish it?

    I don't think it's disgraceful, it's just pragmatic. At the moment it is more important for the government (especially Labour) to have the referendum passed.

    If there was nothing critical in the report I'm sure it would have been published by now. I have an inkling that this report may cause more damage to the government than the Gardai.

    Didn't they say the Brief could take decades??


    'Recordings of telephone calls to Garda stations are so extensive it could take “many decades” to analyse them, the Government has been told.

    The Fennelly Commission was asked to investigate the extent and nature of recordings of the “non-999” calls to certain stations over a 30-year period. It was also asked examine circumstances surrounding the retirement of former Garda commissioner Martin Callinan. '
