Assistant Garda Commissioner John O’Driscoll has said that claims a garda and army private killed during the Don Tidey kidnapping had been killed by 'friendly fire' were “totally untrue” 

A complete review into the deaths would 'prove beyond doubt' that claims they were shot dead by garda or army weapons were totally untrue, he said.
