Press Statement
on behalf of our client, Mr Tony Deery
12 January 2012 --
Tony Deery was arrested from his home in the Creggan Estate, Derry City on
Tuesday 10 January 2012 and detained at Strand Road PSNI Station. The reason
given for his arrest was that he was alleged to have been involved in the arson
of Seán Dolan’s GAC Clubhouse on 28 December 2011.
Mr Deery’s solicitor Peter Madden issued the following statement on his client’s
behalf:
"Mr Deery was arrested at 10.30am on 10 January and detained for approximately
seven hours, before being released on police bail. Police conducted two taped
interviews, lasting a total of 47 minutes, with my client and at no stage did
they put a single shred of evidence to him connecting him with the fire at Seán
Dolan’s GAC Clubhouse.
The PSNI also refused to provide any details of the allegations against him, or
to provide any information linking him to the fire.
Mr Deery categorically denies any involvement in the attack on Seán Dolan’s
clubhouse. Mr Deery was in Donegal on the evening of 27 December, and CCTV of
this has been obtained. At the time of the fire, in the early hours of 28
December, Mr Deery was at the Altnagelvin Hospital and the PSNI have confirmed
that CCTV footage exists and have been directed to obtain a copy.
During Mr Deery’s arrest, the PSNI removed a number of personal items from his
home including computer equipment and DVDs of private family occasions. These
items could not conceivably be relevant to the purported reasons given for my
client’s arrest. Indeed much of the time spent in the interviews dealt with
intrusive and irrelevant questions about these private family items.
We will be issuing legal proceedings on behalf of Mr. Deery
against the PSNI in due course."
