Corruption, lies and wall of silence

THE sixth Morris Report outlines the scale of Garda corruption in the questioning of suspects following the death of cattle dealer Richie Barron, the subsequent lies, and a “wall of silence” faced by investigators.

It found a number of senior gardaí in the Donegal division conspired to target the extended Quinn and McBrearty families and to seek false convictions for Mr Barron’s murder.

Mr Justice Frederick Morris’s sixth report was published yesterday and made a number of findings against named gardaí.
