Gardaí swamped with rape investigations, tribunal told
Eight rapes were reported within a seven-week period in one Donegal Garda district in the late 1990s, it emerged today.
Ex-Superintendent Kevin Lennon, who was in charge of the Letterkenny division in 1997, told the Morris Tribunal he was so swamped with paperwork and matters of very serious crime he did not have time to devote to allegations of garda harassment from a local publican.
