Garda tells tribunal the McBreartys were called ‘the Don Corleones’

A DONEGAL family implicated in the death of cattle dealer Richie Barron were labelled the Don Corleones, it was claimed yesterday.

Sergeant Brendan Roache said senior officers probing the fatal hit-and-run in Raphoe used the Mafia tag when referring to the McBrearty family.

He told the Morris Tribunal an officer said at a conference that “the Don Corleone family had a row last week”.
