More than 20 men claim former surgeon assaulted them

GARDAÍ have confirmed they have received more than 20 new complaints from men alleging they were indecently assaulted by the disgraced hospital consultant Michael Shine.

They have also appealed for anyone else who has concerns about the way in which they were treated by the former surgeon to contact them.

Last November Shine was struck off the medical register after the fitness to practice committee of the Medical Council found him guilty of professional misconduct because he had made sexual advances to three male patients.
