Former garda chief 'sceptical' of informer's claims
The former head of the Donegal garda division said he was “sceptical” that an unreliable informer had been tortured by the IRA, the Morris Tribunal heard today.
William Doherty, whose information once sparked a fruitless three-day arms search, claimed to Raphoe garda John O’Dowd that the Provos had pulled out his back teeth and set his genitals on fire for informing on their activities.
