Harassment claim informer unreliable, tribunal told

A Garda informer who alleged three gardaí were involved in various activities designed to harass the McBrearty family was completely unreliable, a former detective today told the Morris Tribunal.

Detective Richard Caplice, a retired member of the Carty investigation, said in 1999 William Doherty had given him information about Garda John O’Dowd, Detective Sergeant John White and Superintendent Kevin Lennon.
