Bruton did call MEP over corruption claims, tribunal told

Former Fine Gael leader John Bruton did call a party colleague telling him to ease off raising the issue of garda corruption in the Dáil, the Morris Tribunal was told today.

A barrister, representing Jim Higgins MEP, said his client was requested to stop making representations for the McBrearty family who claimed they were subjected to a campaign of garda harassment.
