McGlinchey resumes Morris evidence

Alleged garda informer Adrienne McGlinchey is due to resume her evidence to the Morris Tribunal later today.

Ms McGlinchey has already told the tribunal how she ground up fertiliser at the request of Detective Noel McMahon to make it look like the ingredients for a home-made bomb.

She also told of how Detective McMahon and Superintendent Kevin Lennon subsequently staged explosives finds to further their own careers.

In earlier evidence, Sheenagh McMahon, Detective McMahon's ex-wife, claimed that gardai allowed Ms McGlinchey to carry a bomb across the border for the IRA in order to protect her identity as a garda informer.

However, Ms McGlinchey has denied that she was ever a member of the IRA or a garda informer, saying the only information she ever passed on to gardai was given to her by Detective McMahon.
