On a dark night in 1996 a man was found dead on the side of the road outside the small village of Raphoe, Co. Donegal. The evidence pointed to a hit and run but some Gardai felt differently. They set about building a case to incriminate a local publican family, the McBreartys and a few of their extended family and friends. Years of harassment and intimidation followed, but the McBreartys fought back. They mounted a legal battle to clear their name which culminated in the Morris Tribunal. After over 300 days of hearing evidence the tribunal exposed a case of corruption and negligence like no other. The McBreartys were exonerated of any wrong doing and received compensation from the State. But what of the human cost? Charlie Bird now returns to Donegal and meets some of those at the heart of this extraordinary case and witnesses the aftermath of a murder that never happened.
