Colleague told me to keep quiet, Garda tells court

A garda has said a colleague accused of assaulting a young man after forcing entry to his flat had told her not to say anything if she was asked about the alleged incident.

Garda Caroline Breslin, then a student garda, said she was in a patrol car with Gda Alan Conlon a few days after the alleged assault when he told her if anyone asked her about the incident, she wasn’t to say anything.
