Garda refuses to reveal sources in terrorist trial

A Garda Chief Superintendent told the Special Criminal Court in Dublin today that people's lives would be at risk if he disclosed the sources of confidential information relating to one of seven men accused of membership of an unlawful organisation, the Continuity IRA.

Chief Superintendent Gerard Kelly claimed privilege over the sources of his information relating to Gerard Brommell. He said that he had a file containing information about Brommell and he also had oral information which had been given to him.
