Garda denies Republican Sinn Fein 'harrassment' claims

A senior garda today denied that gardai in Limerick "harassed" republicans because of the IRA killing of Detective Garda Jerry McCabe and the wounding of another garda in Limerick.

When recalled to the stand in the Special Criminal Court in the trial of seven suspected members of the Continuity IRA, Chief Superintendent Gerard Kelly rejected suggestions that gardai deliberately harassed members of Republican Sinn Fein.
