Detectives doubted 'informer's' word, Morris told

Two former detectives today told the Morris Tribunal into Garda corruption of their doubts over the veracity of information relayed to the force in Co Donegal by alleged IRA insider Adrienne McGlinchey during the 1990s.

Ex-Detective Sergeant Des Walsh said he had once gone to a senior officer to urge caution on the way the gardai dealt with Ms McGlinchey, a key witness at the on-going inquiry into alleged improper activities.
