Garda refuses to reveal informants in IRA trial
A Garda Chief Superintendant has told the Special Criminal Court that he will not disclose the name of an informant who provided intelligence implicating three Northern Ireland men in IRA activities for fear they will end up “in a shallow grave”.
Chief Superintendant Michael O’Sullivan told the court that he believes the three men, who were arrested after they were stopped at a garda checkpoint outside Letterkenny in the early hours of February 22 last, are members of an illegal organisation.
