Maurice and Lorraine McCabe statement: '​Truth today - justice can follow'

Whistleblower Maurice McCabe has demanded that Taoiseach Enda Kenny, Justice Minister Frances Fitzgerald and other ministers reveal if they were ever briefed on false sex abuse claims peddled against him.

In a rare statement from Mr McCabe and his wife Lorraine, they also rejected the need for the imminent "secret" commission of inquiry into the "sustained campaign to destroy our characters".
