Garda admits discrepancies not probed

DISCREPANCIES in the statement of Noel McBride which incriminated the McBrearty family in the death of Richie Barron in Raphoe, Co Donegal, were never followed up with essential inquiries.

"It should have been done but that was not my function at the time," Sergeant Martin Moylan told the Morris Tribunal yesterday.

"We were told that in relation to McBride's statement we were not to do any checking," he said.
