Nightclub owner Frank McBrearty Snr was subjected to a campaign of harassment and intimidation instigated by gardaí investigating the death of Raphoe cattle dealer Richie Barron, he claimed today.

Mr McBrearty told the Morris Tribunal into alleged Garda corruption in Donegal that following Mr Barron’s death, which is now believed to be the result of a road traffic accident, he and his family were the victims of a “state-sponsored conspiracy”.
