The State and Tusla have reached a settlement with Maurice McCabe in a High Court case taken by the Garda whistleblower.

The former sergeant took the action after a file was created by the child and family agency containing false allegations against him.

The Charleton Tribunal found that the mistake was the result of a copy and paste error by a counsellor.

The details of the settlement are confidential.

Last year, the Charleton report was strongly critical of Tusla over its handling of the false rape claim made against Sgt McCabe.

It said the false report had an "afterlife" within Tusla, observing: "This was not due to any action by gardaí, but was because of the astounding inefficiency of that organisation and the inertia of its management in Cavan/Monaghan."
