Shatter: Gardaí monitor freeman laws

Justice Minster Alan Shatter has revealed that the controversial freeman of the land trusts are being monitored by the Garda Commissioner Martin Callinan.

Mr Shatter said he had spoken with Mr Callinan about the developments in the freeman movement since the arrest of trust organiser Charles Allen in Cork last month.

That arrest followed Mr Allen’s attempt to claim a Georgian property on the Tivoli Rd using private trust documents which have been described as “nonsense” by two High Court judges.
