Tribunal to probe garda plot in murder of RUC men

A TRIBUNAL to investigate allegations of garda collusion in the murder of two senior RUC officers 16 years ago is to be established, it was confirmed yesterday.

A motion to establish a tribunal of inquiry to examine the IRA ambush of RUC Chief Superintendent Harry Breen and Superintendent Robert Buchanan will be brought before the Oireachtas on March 23.

A spokesman for the Department of Justice said: “A motion will be brought before the Houses of the Oireachtas at the end of the month. They still have to establish the tribunal, no one has been appointed yet.”
