Abbeylara gardaí to respond to Barr ultimatum

Gardaí involved in the shooting of John Carthy in Abbeylara four years ago are due to reveal today whether they are prepared to continue co-operating with the inquiry into the killing.

The gardaí have threatened to cease co-operating with the Barr Tribunal due to a row between their senior counsel John Rodgers and the inquiry chairman Justice Robert Barr.
