Burke given ‘secret’ garda file
Details of the controversial exchange of classified documents are contained in the political memoirs of the former Government press secretary, Frank Dunlop, published today.
The book, Yes, Taoiseach, outlines how Dunlop was asked in 1982 by the then Justice Minister, Seán Doherty, to copy the content of the garda file for Burke. Dunlop claims he was instructed to make a copy of the document but not to read the material himself.
