Nevin seeks declarations that three men were Garda informers

Lawyers representing convicted murderer Catherine Nevin have initiated proceedings aimed at having the DPP or Garda commissioner disclose whether three men who gave evidence at her trial were State informers.

The application is part of Mrs Nevin's bid to have the conviction after a 42 day trial in April 2000 of the murder of her husband Tom at their pub, Jack White's Inn, Brittas Bay, on March 19, 1996, declared a miscarriage of justice.
