Gardai 'paid man to make false statements'

The Morris Tribunal has heard claims that two Gardai paid a Co Sligo man to lie about two members of the extended McBrearty family.

Bernard Conlon said he was paid more than £2,000 (€2,540) by Detective John White and Garda John Nicholson to make false statements against Mark McConnell and Michael Peoples.

Conlon claimed White pointed the two men out to him at a court sitting in Letterkenny.
