Ex-garda's son brought hat to IRA-accused's home
The son of a retired Garda took to the stand in the Special Criminal Court today to say he had brought a Garda hat into the house of a father of 10 accused of IRA membership while playing with the accused's son during Halloween.
Cormac Comiskey was giving evidence in the trial of Art Sherwin (aged 55), Ballinagappa Road, Clane, Co Kildare, who denies membership of an illegal organisation styling itself the Irish Republican Army, otherwise Óglaigh na hÉireann, otherwise the IRA, on March 14, 2005.
