Garda denies Republican Sinn Fein 'harassment' claims in trial
A detective garda who took part in a raid on a house in Limerick where a suspected Continuity IRA was taking place, today denied that gardai "hassled" members of Republican Sinn Fein.
Det Garda Eileen O’Shea, Henry Street, told the Special Criminal Court in Dublin that before the raid, gardai were briefed on the identities of five men who were in the house that night. Mr Michael Bowman BL for the accused Patrick O’Shea put it to the witness that four were known to her as members of Republican Sinn Fein. "That is correct", the witness replied.
