Safety fears over home addresses on web database
Speaking at the Irish Medical Organisation’s (IMO) annual conference in Killarney yesterday, trainee psychiatrist Dr Matthew Sadlier said doctors were “heavily over-represented” in the population of people who are stalked. “I myself had a number of potential stalkers,” said Dr Sadlier, who works at St Vincent’s Hospital in Dublin.
Dr Ken Egan, a GP in Ballindine, Co Mayo, said he was one of six doctors whose homes had been burgled since Christmas. He said gardaí believe a professional gang was carrying out the break-ins because the modus operandi was similar in all cases.
