Complaints against Shine under review

A CONSULTANT doctor is reviewing the complaints of indecent assault made by nearly 70 men against former surgeon Michael Shine and his opinion will form part of the Garda investigation file on Shine for the DPP.

Garda sources yesterday confirmed that the consultant, who works in general medicine in a hospital in the Republic, was “provided to the Garda investigation” by the medical council and is described as “an expert in general consultancy”.

The doctor began examining the medical files of the men as well as the statements of complaint they have made to the gardaí last month.
