Good detecting more effective than bullying

LISTENING to, and reading about, the Morris Tribunal, you would get the impression that there is something intrinsically wrong with Donegal people in general; and Donegal gardaí in particular.

As if abuses, or alleged abuses by gardaí, were phenomena unique to the northwestern portion of our island.

The tribunal certainly brought back many unhappy memories for me. But none of these related to dear old Donegal. I am reminded, as I listen to the daily reports from Dublin Castle, of events in my own life 20 years ago.
