Morris has agenda to destroy officer, lawyer claims

LAWYERS for a garda sergeant branded a liar by the Morris Tribunal yesterday said an agenda had been set at the inquiry to destroy the officer.

The corruption investigation was told Sgt John White had been acquitted of perverting the course of justice and should not have to defend his badge of innocence in the Silver Bullet module.

Paudge Dorrian, counsel for the suspended sergeant, said allegations of wrong-doing were the same as those thrown out by a judge in Letterkenny Court.
