Ex garda's anger over death claim

A former Garda today said it was ‘disgusting’ for the Morris Tribunal to suggest he had been responsible for the death of a cattle dealer.

John O’Dowd, responding to tribunal counsel Peter Charleton, said he was ‘100% certain’ that he was not involved in the suspected hit-and-run death of Richie Barron in Raphoe, County Donegal in October 1996.
