Minister calls on new gardaí to uphold values

YESTERDAY’S graduation ceremony at Templemore was a symbolic one: the first since the publication of the Morris Tribunal’s interim report on Garda corruption in Donegal.

That report branded Detective Garda Noel McMahon and Superintendent Kevin Lennon as corrupt liars who manufactured finds of explosives in Donegal to boost their careers.

Det Gda McMahon has tendered his resignation, while Supt Lennon is suspended from duty.
