Garda chief feared he was being set up

A GARDA superintendent refused to handle a notebook seized by his own officers because he feared he was being set up, the Morris Tribunal heard yesterday.

Superintendent Kevin Lennon was offered the notebook in September 1997, after it had been found in the house of a garda informer, William Doherty.

The notebook belonged to another member of the Donegal Division, Garda John O'Dowd.
