McBrearty clashes with tribunal judge

KEY witness Frank McBrearty Snr stormed out of the Morris Tribunal yesterday vowing to sell his business to fight his case in the High Court after clashing with the tribunal chairman.

The nightclub-owner walked out of the witness box after several heated exchanges with tribunal chairman Justice Frederick Morris and barristers.

Demands from the Donegal publican, wrongly arrested 10 years ago in a botched murder probe, drew robust responses from Mr Justice Morris who moved to defend his independence from the State.
