White investigation ‘will not be subject of garda enquiry’

GARDA bosses have ruled out any inquiry into a garda investigation which led to the prosecution of a Donegal officer at the centre of claims regarding the Omagh bombing.

Detective Sergeant John White, from Ballybofey, was acquitted of charges of making false statements and perverting the course of justice earlier this week.

Mr White gained notoriety after he claimed he passed on information regarding the movements of a car allegedly involved in the Omagh bombing to senior gardaí, but that this was not given to the RUC.
