A mother-of-three from Donegal who was psychologically abused by gardaí is due to resume her evidence today.

Katrina Brolly was arrested for questioning about the death of cattle dealer Richie Barron in Raphoe in 1996.

She has told the tribunal that gardaí at Letterkenny Garda Station threatened to have her children put into care if she refused to implicate her brother-in-law in murder.

She has also said that she was called a lying bastard as a female officer, Gda Joan Gallagher, pulled her hair.
