2 local TD’s have this morning backed calls for the Garda Commissioner to withdraw his comments describing the actions of Garda whistleblowers as disgusting.
Pat Deering and Ann Phelan are now supporting their respective party colleagues Ministers Leo Varadkar and Joan Burton in their quest to get Martin Callinan to take back the phrase he used at a dail committee hearing on penalty points.

But Fine Gael Deputy Deering wants him to reconsider.
