'Informer sought revenge after garda's wife blew her cover'

Alleged informer Adrienne McGlinchey claimed her garda handler blackmailed her into posing as an IRA mole as an act of revenge when his wife blew her cover, the Morris Tribunal today heard.

Detective Noel McMahon said the Letterkenny woman was motivated by revenge and anger when she made claims about corrupt activities on his part in Co Donegal during the 1990s.
