Senior garda in Donegal tells Charleton Tribunal she did not deliberately omit making a note

The most senior garda in Donegal has said she did not deliberately omit making a note at the time of a decision to begin an investigation into allegations of domestic abuse against whistleblower Garda Keith Harrison, writes Gerard Cunningham.

Chief Superintendent Terry McGinn directed that Inspector Goretti Sheridan begin an investigation on 29 September 2013, following a report from the mother of Garda Harrison's partner Marisa Simms.
