According to a report published earlier this evening by the Irish Examiner, it appears that Shell has been cleared of bribing the Irish police.
Under the circumstances I will expect libel writs in the post from those police officers who I have named as being involved in the corruption which took place.
Should I be worried? Not at all.
The verdict of no evidence is in line with the previous internal investigation results by the Irish Police and Shell.
What will it do to the already heavily damaged reputation of the Irish Justice Ministry, the Garda and the Garda Ombudsman Commission, if in fact there is hard evidence proving the OSSL allegations?
