Cross-examination delays Morris tribunal

An exacting question-and-answer session between two garda superintendents continued today at another session of the Morris Tribunal into alleged Garda corruption.

The officers were initially locked in a five-hour confrontation at yesterday’s sitting of the inquiry – headed by former High Court President Mr Justice Frederick Morris – with key witness Superintendent Tom Long undergoing a detailed cross-examination at the hands of his currently suspended colleague Superintendent Kevin Lennon.
