Alleged IRA informer often dumped ammunition, tribunal told

AMMUNITION and other terrorist material was often dumped by alleged IRA informer Adrienne McGlinchey when she feared she could be caught by security forces, the Morris Tribunal heard yesterday.

Ms McGlinchey's former handler Detective Garda Noel McMahon made the comment as he detailed a cross-Border delivery of IRA ammunition by the Letterkenny woman in 1993.

He told the inquiry Ms McGlinchey had been told to take bullets and ammunition in a lunchbox to Strabane, Co Tyrone, from neighbouring Co Donegal.
