Opposition hit out at 'bully boy' McDowell

Justice Minister Michael McDowell was today branded a bully-boy by the Opposition despite promising a Government apology to families framed by corrupt gardaí in Co Donegal.

Mr McDowell said people targeted by rogue officers in the events leading to the Morris Tribunal were owed a solemn letter of apology by successive governments including the Rainbow Coalition in the mid-1990s.
