IrelandShamed former superintendent seeking most of his legal costs from Disclosures Tribunal

Supt Dave Taylor

A former Garda superintendent heavily criticised by the Disclosures Tribunal for smearing whistleblower Maurice McCabe is seeking to have the majority of his legal costs awarded to him by the tribunal.

A lawyer for David Taylor told tribunal chairman Mr Justice Peter Charleton that if a decision was made not to award all of his client’s costs, then a 10pc deduction might be appropriate.

Taylor retired from the force last year in the aftermath of the tribunal findings.

He had been under suspension and was facing a disciplinary inquiry when he retired.

Mr Justice Charleton concluded Taylor helped former commissioner Martin Callinan in "a campaign of calumny" against Mr McCabe, who has also since retired from the force.

He also found that when Taylor came under Garda investigation over the unauthorised disclosure of information to journalists, he swore an affidavit that was "almost entirely made up of nothing but lies".

At the outset of the hearing, Mr Justice Charleton asked the parties represented in court what percentage reduction in their costs they believed to be appropriate if their costs were to be reduced.

Michael O’Higgins SC, for Taylor, suggested a 10pc reduction.

He said the judge’s decision on the matter “might involve an element of compassion”.
