FG denies leaking story of councillor’s gay ad

FINE GAEL has denied it was behind a story leaked to a Wexford newspaper which exposed a Fianna Fáil councillor’s advert for a date on a gay website.

Gorey Town Councillor Malcolm Byrne has admitted advertising for dates at gaydar.co.uk, but says he did nothing illegal or immoral.

Fine Gael’s denial came as the public rallied behind the popular councillor.
