Garda lifts for witness against regulations, tribunal told
The use of patrol cars to drive a witness from Sligo to Donegal to testify against the McBrearty family in a licensing case was totally unusual and totally against regulations, a member of an internal Garda investigation team said today.
Chief superintendent Austin McNally told the Morris Tribunal into Garda corruption in Donegal that witness Bernard Conlon was being facilitated in many ways by gardaí in Donegal and Sligo, including being given lifts to court.
