Garda ‘adopted sinister approach to estranged wife’
Cormac Corrigan, counsel for Sheenagh McMahon, said Garda McMahon alleged to have helped prepare explosives that later turned up in bogus garda terrorist arms finds had been trying to hide the facts about what went on at his former family home in Buncrana, Co Donegal.
Mr Corrigan, delivering his final submission to the long-running inquiry, said: "What Mrs McMahon had in her statement was the truth and it was the truth that Noel McMahon was trying to suppress. It goes back to the sinister approach by and on behalf of Detective Garda McMahon towards my client. It was important for him to bring pressure to bear on Mrs McMahon."
