Garda denies sanctioning crackdown on liquor license breaches
The former top garda in Donegal today said he never sanctioned a crackdown on breaches of the liquor licensing law carried out by certain gardaí in the county during the late 1990s.
Retired Chief Superintendent Denis Fitzpatrick told the Morris Tribunal most licensed businesses which served alcohol later than legally allowed would have been ignored as long as there were no public order problems.
