Higgins to meet Morris tribunal for discussions

Fine Gael Senator, Jim Higgins, is set to meet the Morris Tribunal later today for discussions, which could have serious implications for Oireachtas confidentiality.

The tribunal is seeking to establish the source of damning evidence given to Mr Higgins and Labour TD, Brendan Howlin, in June 2000, which implicates certain gardaí in Donegal in the McBrearty affair.
