Legal proceedings by a Co Donegal publican, Mr Frank McBrearty snr, in which he alleges three senior garda∅ were among leading conspirators in a campaign to damage him and his family, were adjourned for two weeks by the High Court yesterday.
An interim injunction, granted to Mr McBrearty on November 22nd, is to continue for the two weeks.
This restrains the Garda Commissioner from circulating a document in local Garda stations relating to the McBrearty family. Mr McBrearty claims the document circulated in the Letterkenny Garda division requires garda∅ to report on the activities of himself, his family and contacts.
Counsel for the Garda Commissioner asked for the adjournment. He said he required time to take detailed instructions on the matter. Mr Martin Giblin SC, for Mr McBrearty, consented.
