Senior gardaí 'gave PIRA sensitive information'

Senior gardaí passed sensitive information to members of the Provisional IRA (Pira) during the Troubles, a major collusion inquiry has been told.

New intelligence heard at a tribunal investigating links between gardai and the terror group’s ambush of two RUC officers in 1989 claimed that a key witness, former Detective Sergeant Owen Corrigan, colluded with subversives.
