Sister resumes evidence to Abbeylara inquiry

Marie Carthy has resumed her evidence to the tribunal set up to investigate the killing of her 27-year-old brother by armed gardaí in April 2001.

Yesterday, Ms Carthy told the Barr Tribunal that her brother, John, lost all trust in the gardaí after he was arrested for allegedly setting fire to a mascot in his home town of Abbeylara, Co Longford, in autumn 1998.
