Morris witness denies affair with garda

The Morris Tribunal went behind closed doors today as colourful witness Adrienne McGlinchey began her fifth day of evidence at the garda corruption inquiry by denying any form of sexual relationship with Detective Garda Noel McMahon, one of the central figures in the on-going probe.

The investigation started a closed, in-camera session, scheduled to last the rest of the day, at least, after Ms McGlinchey firmly denied ever having an affair with the detective, who has been alleged to have joined with her and now-suspended Garda Superintendent Kevin Lennon in mixing explosives later planted to be uncovered in bogus garda finds of terrorist arms dumps.
