on 25 march 2014, the garda commissioner, martin callinan announced his retirement as garda commissioner. it subsequently emerged that his unexpected departure was connected to the discovery of previously publicly unknown garda recordings of phone conversations in garda stations for over two decades. the circumstances relating to the commissioners premature retirement and the role of the taoiseach and the actions of attorney general, maire whelan and alan shatter as minister of justice were the subject of a statutory commission of investigation by retired supreme court judge, niall fennelly. the commissioner had written to brian purcell, the secretary general of the justice department on 10 march 2014 informing him of the discovery of the recordings and action being taken. the gardai had also informed the attorney general of the issue the previous autumn. shatter claimed he knew nothing of the letter until after the commissioner's resignation when some hours later he received a copy of it from the secretary general of the justice department. his political opponents and various media commentators challenged and ridiculed this claim. this added to the controversy in which he was embroiled. upon publication of the interim fennelly report in september 2015 fennelly determined that shatter had told the truth and criticised whelan for not discussing the issue with him and purcell for not furnishing the commissioner's letter to shatter after he received it. whelan and kenny had discussed the recordings issue together on 23 march 2014 and fennelly was critical of their failure after that meeting to inform shatter of their concerns about the recordings. fennelly concluded that had they done so the commissioners retirement may not have occurred. shatter claimed that he had not been informed of the recordings until the evening of 24 march 2014. his political opponents alleged he knew of them earlier. the fennelly report found also that shatter was truthful on this issue. the fennelly report recorded evidence given by shatter that contradicted that of whelan and kenny in relation to the task given by kenny to purcell when visiting the commissioner on kenny's direction the night before his premature retirement, 23 march 2014. kenny claimed that purcell was tasked to obtain information from callinan. shatter claimed he was tasked with informing callinan that following the next day's cabinet meeting kenny may be unable to express confidence in callinan. shatter's evidence accorded with that of purcell and martin fraser, kenny's secretary general in the taoiseachs department. the evidence of whelan and kenny on the issue was rejected by fennelly.
