Garda shamed by corrupt officers, chief admits

The Garda Siochana has been shamed by the lying and corruption of some of its officers in Donegal, Commissioner Noel Conroy admitted tonight.

With more damaging revelations expected when the Morris Tribunal resumes later this month, the beleaguered chief said he regretted that the force had been tarnished by the handling of the investigation into the death of cattle dealer Richie Barron.
