I was hounded by gardaí, claims key witness

MORRIS TRIBUNAL witness Adrienne McGlinchey complained today of the hounding she received at the hands of an internal garda investigation of alleged improper policing activities in Co Donegal during the 1990s.

Another witness a niece of IRA figure Pearse McCauley also alleged yesterday she was assaulted by gardaí at a garda station in Buncrana after being arrested with Ms McGlinchey.

Cross-examination of Ms McGlinchey who gave a total of 11 days of evidence to the Government-ordered inquiry in Dublin ended after concentrating on variations between what she has told the tribunal and the contents of 150 pages of statements she made to the earlier internal probe, headed by Asst Comr Kevin Carty.
