It is "inconceivable" that a suspect allegedly repeatedly assaulted by gardaí would not tell his family doctor, the Morris Tribunal heard today.

A Donegal publican refused to answer questions before the Morris Tribunal today until a number of gardaí he accused of mistreating him in custody were removed from the room.

Senior gardaí fabricated a suspect’s confession to a murder that never happened, it was alleged today.

THE fallout from the McBrearty scandal is far from over and many who have followed the events that began on that fateful day in October 1996 believe it can only get worse.

The confession of a man in connection with the death of Raphoe cattle dealer Richie Barron in 1996 was a fraud, a former Garda officer said today.
