Garda home ransacked, INLA trial hears

A young garda discovered his home had been ransacked, “covered in a blue powdery substance” and that the toilet was “stuffed” with torn garda notebooks, the Special Criminal Court has heard today.

Garda Emmett Dunphy described how, on December 10, 2007, he returned to the Waterford home he shared with his partner, Garda Lisa Farrell, only to find it in disarray with a large black gearbag, containing their work uniforms, missing.
