The Royal Gibraltar Police (RGP) investigation into the allegation that ‘whistle-blowers’ were incentivised to provide evidence to the McGrail Inquiry “has not uncovered any evidence that meets the threshold for criminal prosecution for Misconduct in Public Office.”
The Government notes that considerable misinformation is being circulated in sectors of the Spanish media regarding the reclamation project at the North Mole in connection with the new power station.
Pending the publication of the full Report on the Dr Giraldi Home Inquiry, the Opposition, at this stage, says it welcomes the fact that out of a voluminous and exhaustive document, comprising 4 volumes, 16 chapters and 10 annexes, the Chief Minister’s brief conclusion of the same is simply that “any instances of mismanagement, misconduct and malpractice at the Home were infrequent and at the lower age of the scale for this type of behaviour”.
This time last week I was putting in my last few hours of the week in the office, excited for the jam-packed weekend ahead. I had a friend’s birthday dinner and night out planned for the evening, the Gib Talks event in the morning and a relaxed Sunday with Leslie Knope and the rest of the gang at Pawnee, Indiana’s Parks and Recreation department. After a week of work nothing seemed more appealing; I was ready to take on the weekend with courage. I wish I had known how I feel about it now, then. I had a particularly heavy night, an alarm for half-eight in the morning on the Saturday, met up with my writing buddies Mike and Shameem (the same one from here) and somehow managed to make it to the John Mackintosh Hall without collapsing. I was dying. But I was determined to have a great weekend and part of that was watching every talk at the Gib Talks event, of course with preference to some over others. Long story short the event was a success, everybody loved it and I was convinced (and still am) that the half-eight in the morning alarm was the way to go. Good job!
