Garda 'invented' discussion on corruption

A SENIOR garda officer invented details of a meeting in which he was allegedly briefed about garda corruption, the Morris Tribunal heard yesterday.

Buncrana solicitor Paudge Dorrian told the tribunal he had no recollection of the meeting and rejected claims he had revealed details of serious garda misconduct.

Mr Dorrian began his evidence before the Easter break, but was recalled after refusing to disclose the subject of meetings he held with Chief Superintendent Denis Fitzpatrick five years ago.
