Why Garda incompetence is acceptable?

Anybody who believes that this whole saga is solely down to a TUSLA employee accidentally copy and pasting sentences from one report to another is very naieve.

There's a lot of Gardai in my family and I know better than most the frustration of the average Garda on the beat, but this is different. It smacks of being directed from the top, and as such is seriously damaging to the force.

It's not one single person, there seems to be several involved and foe the good of the force and those in it, those responsible need to be found and rooted out.

And likewise, there is nothing in that article that shows any attempt by Gardaí to frame or anything like it Mr. McCabe. The article barely mentions the Gardaí and if they're guilty of anything, it's not investigating it sooner. I'd imagine they're crossing every T and dotting every i since he became a whistleblower, because he would know to look for and jump at the smallest of things. You can say it smacks of this and that, but there is no evidence whatsoever of your allegations, and while i'm not blind enough to think that stuff doesn't happen, i'm also not willing to accept anything without evidence. You're saying there's several involved, but there would be several involved in nearly any investigation, and especially one of such magnitude would have extra members involved. Then, as i said, include the alleged suspect (wrongly in this case, error by Tulsa) and you have to be even more careful of the investigation, so it would take longer than normal.

I think without anything else to prove it, jumping to the conclusion that this was an internal attack on a man who has been proven to be a liar (and also proven to be in the right, i'm not taking sides) is unsubstantiated. You can say you believe what you want, but without proof it's just words.

At least some of them get their just desserts

on RTE news just now- John McGuinness TD being interviewed has said
"The apology delivered by TUSLA today, was handed in to the 80 year old next door neighbour"

This just beggars belief!

Id say that's the only honest mistake in the entire thing.

It's just beyond appalling.
Where the hell have the guards unions been and the gardai themselves? We have heard s good as nothing in support of McCabe and yet they're very likely all aware of what's been going on. I'm sad to say it paints them in a very bad light.

John McGuiness also mentioned the garda press officer who is the only one I can think of who did come out in support of McCabe. McGuiness mentioned he should note be reinstated e with full pay in light of the revaluations.
Has he been suspended without pay for his part in supporting the whistle-blower?

The commissioner and minister for justice have lost all credibility.

This is just rubbish speculation. McCabe pre-dates the government, and the idea that a Tusla civil servant making a mistake isn't going to bring down the government.

Zapone is definitely under the microscope though. No surprise being an amateur politician.

Zero. Total 100% stitch up of the most grotesque kind. Accused of interfering with his own children.
