Top garda quizzed over 'plan to attack army checkpoint'

A former top garda was quizzed at length today about the procedure he followed after being told of a potential IRA attack on a British Army border-side security checkpoint nearly a decade ago.

Ex-Superintendent Michael Duffy, giving evidence for a second day at the on-going Morris tribunal into Co Donegal garda corruption allegations, was pressed in particular about the time he received information about the planned terrorist strike at Beleek, Co Fermanagh, in 1994.
