Haughey threatened my life, McCreevy

FORMER Taoiseach Charles Haughey would not comment yesterday on claims by EU Commissioner Charlie McCreevy that his life was threatened when he opposed Mr Haughey’s leadership in the 1980s.

Mr McCreevy said that at one point the police were concerned about him.

“As far as I can remember, my wife had received phone calls to say I’d be knocked off coming down the Naas Road, I think they kept an eye on me.”
