An experienced Garda today said he felt uneasy when a colleague revealed he had made a secret recording of an interview with a drugs suspect, at which both officers were present.

A Donegal publican who refused to evacuate his nightclub during a bomb scare instead “ranted and raved” to gardaí about how his family had been harassed by the force, a tribunal heard today.

THE Morris Tribunal was unable to stand up claims that a garda detective urged a small-time crook to fabricate a story that he received a death threat from members of the extended McBrearty family.
