GARDAI SAY THEY WON’T TOLERATE TRAPPINGS AHEAD OF REPUBLICAN’S FUNERAL
GARDA commissioner Martin Calli an has warned paramilitary trappings will not be tolerated at any funerals in the Republic. He was speaking ahead of the funeral of Seamus McKenna (58) who died after falling from scaffolding while working on the roof of a property near Dundalk last week.
A member of Oglaigh na hEireann (ONH), Mr McKenna, was one of five men sued by relatives of some of the 29 people killed by the 1998 Omagh bomb which was carried out by the now defunct Real IRA. OOriginally from Silver bridge in Co Armagh, he was sentenced to six years for constructing a bomb in Co Louth in 2003.
Although not speaking specifically about McKenna’s funeral, commissioner Callinan said no paramilitary displays will be tolerated. Garda came in for criticism last year when masked men fired a volley of shots over the coffin of murdered republican Alan Ryan in Dublin. Uniformed men also flanked a hearse carrying the 32-year-old’s remains through the city. McKenna’s funeral is to be held in Ravensdale, Co Louth tommorow.

EMOTIONS RUN HIGH AT SMITHWICK TRIBUNAL !
There were heated exchanges at the SMITHWICK Tribunal yesterday over the unmasking of the identity of an RUC Special Branch source.
The tribunal is investigating allegation’s that information information was passed from garda in Dundalk to the IRA, which led them to ambush and kill two senior RUC officers in March 1989.
RUC officers Chief Superintendent Harry Breen ans Superintendent Bob Buchanan were shot dead after their car was ambushed just minutes after leaving the garda station in Co Louth town. Former RUC office, wittness Z, claimed murdered grain smuggler John McAnulty was the intelligence source linking a garda in Dundalk to the IRA.
The PSNI said the identification of the source was ” outrageous “, Giving evidence via video link from Belfast, the annonymous witness said John McAnulty had told him that former detective sergeant Owen Corrigan was ” helping out ” the Provisional IRA in 1985.
Witness Z described this intelligence as beleivable. PSNI lawyer Mark Robinson vociferously objected to the revelation of the source’s identity. In a heated exchange with counsel for the tribunal Mary Laverty he said even sources who were deceased should not be named to protect the flow of information.
