McBrearty: Pay-out proves abuse

A Donegal businessman framed for murder today said his record compensation pay-out of €1.5m and the apology from the Government proved the extent of abuse he suffered.

Frank McBrearty Junior, who was branded a murderer by detectives when he was arrested in front of his young children, had vowed to destroy Justice Minister Michael McDowell in the High Court for failing to act on his allegations.
