'IRA informant' offered witness cash to back up story

Alleged IRA informant Adrienne McGlinchey offered a Morris Tribunal witness a cut of a “million pounds pay-out” if he backed up her story over garda involvement in the mixing of explosives at a shed owned by her mother, it emerged today.

The tribunal heard details of the inducement made to Pearse Devine, a fellow witness at the garda corruption inquiry, whose sister Yvonne was once a close friend of Ms McGlinchey and shared a flat with her in Buncrana, Co Donegal.
