Gardaí probe Allen letter

THE councillor who was suspended by Fianna Fáil for sending out a bogus letter purporting to be from the Taoiseach in the run-up to the local elections could yet face court action.

A disgruntled member of the public has made a formal written complaint to the gardaí, alleging forgery and intent to deceive.

Corkman Michael Grimes has asked gardaí to investigate Lorcan Allen’s bogus campaign letter.
