Garda denies 'one-track' probe into Barron death

A senior garda today denied to the Morris Tribunal today that gardaí held a “one-track” investigation into the death of cattle dealer Richie Barron in 1996.

Detective Superintendent John McGinley refuted claims that officers traced phone calls between two pubs on the night Mr Barron died to deliberately link Frank McBrearty Jr and his first cousin Mark McConnell to the murder.
