Garda's naivety played part in false earnings claim, Tribunal told
A garda who was prosecuted for obtaining false loss of earning certificates for a witness in a prosecution against the McBreartys did not consider it a big sin when he did it, a solicitor said today.
Retired garda John Nicholson has admitted to passing on three or four false vouchers relating to Bernard Conlon, to ensure he gave evidence in a licensing case against the McBreartys in 1998.
