Man told lawyer of Garda harassement and abuse, tribunal told

A Donegal man complained to his solicitor of harassment and abuse by a garda during an interview over the death of cattle dealer Richie Barron, the Morris Tribunal heard today.

Mark McConnell’s solicitor James O’Donnell told how he rushed to the Garda station on December 4, 1996 after Mr McConnell was in an agitated state when he spoke to him on the telephone.
