FG urges legal advice on RTÉ drug claims

FINE GAEL last night urged the Government to seek legal advice on an author’s controversial claims that one of its ministers was a regular cocaine user.

However, junior minister with responsibility for drugs, Pat Carey, said he was awaiting the outcome of RTÉ’s investigation into its two-part documentary which was based on the High Society book by Justine Delaney-Wilson.

The possibility of legal action will only be addressed on the publication of that internal report, he said.
