Witness grilled about Garda corruption claims

Sheenagh McMahon, who has rocked the Morris Tribunal with allegations about a garda-permitted IRA bomb in Northern Ireland, faced persistent cross-examination at today’s session of the probe into garda corruption.

Mrs McMahon, whose estranged detective husband Noel is one of the garda figures most prominently featuring in her claims, was quizzed in detail about the background to evidence she gave yesterday that focused on a bomb attack on Strabane, Co Tyrone, a decade ago.
