I’m lucky to be alive, says whistleblower

SHEENAGH McMAHON, the whistleblowing former wife of a disgraced detective facing the sack from the force, has revealed the full extent of the intimidation and bullying she suffered after first making a statement against him and a colleague.

The 43-year-old mother said she received unwanted visits from gardaí, was dismissed as a liar, came under pressure to retract, and claims she was wrongly imprisoned in a cell.

Just two months after making a statement to the Carty Inquiry investigating alleged Garda corruption in Donegal, Ms McMahon’s three young sons were taken into care.
