‘Gardaí threatened me with Provos’

Witness says officers demanded he hand over secret recordings

A man has told the High Court two unidentified gardaí threatened him with the “Provos” after dragging him into a car in Skibbereen and driving him around “digging” him, demanding he hand over recordings.

Becoming upset in the witness box, Martin Graham, who served with British forces in Northern Ireland for two years, said: “I thought I was going to be murdered.”
