Suggestion of unreliability "disgusting", garda tells barrister
Stage: Sentence
Plea: Not guilty
Outcome: Today, the Special Criminal Court heard further evidence from several members of the National Surveillance Unit about observations they made in respect of several individuals including Mr Brannigan and three men who have already pleaded guilty to the plot to kill Mr Hanley and been jailed – Luke Wilson, Joseph Kelly and Alan Wilson. He said Garda EN had written in their statement that they could "clearly see the vehicle had two occupants", followed by a new sentence stating "[man who is not before the court] was driving and his passenger was Liam Brannigan".
