Psychiatrist declared Carthy fit to have gun
Dr Patrick Cullen only found out Mr Carthy had the gun the day he was called to an armed siege at his home.
The first day of witness testimony at the tribunal of inquiry into the shooting dead of Mr Carthy, aged 26, by gardaí at his home in Abbeylara, Co Longford, in April 2000, heard evidence of a failure of communication between a number of people involved in the decision to return the seized gun.
