 Among those implicated in the scandal are the Taoiseach (prime minister) Enda Kenny, justice minister Alan Shatter (since resigned), Secretary General of the Department of Justice Brian Purcell, Secretary General of the Department of the Taoiseach Martin Fraser, attorney general Máire Whelan, Garda Commissioner Martin Callinan (since resigned), as well as Independent News & Media, Ireland's largest and most powerful media organisation.The term GUBU (grotesque, unbelievable, bizarre and unprecedented), first used in 1982 to describe the arrest of Malcolm MacArthur in the home of Attorney General Patrick Connolly was invoked to describe the Garda controversy.Shane Phelan, Public Affairs Editor at the "Irish Independent" commented "it is now safe to say we have finally reached GUBU territory", while Michael Clifford of the "Irish Examiner" observed "More than 30 years after the original GUBU moment, here was another one."
