Six more Garda whistleblowers have or are about to come forward.

Independent TD Clare Daly told the Dáil today that she has been in contact with the whistleblowers.

She also said the judge-led review of allegations by two senior gardaí of an orchestrated smear campaign had not made contact with the whistleblowers and it is to report next week.

Deputy Daly said more allegations are about to be made.

“Myself and Deputy (Mick) Wallace have met with a further six serving members of An Garda Síochána who have all either made protected disclosures or are on the verge of doing so,” she said.

She added others who had made protected disclosures, including but not limited to names in the public domain had experienced a “horrendous nightmare” since speaking up.
