No fury like a wife scorned

Hell hath no fury like a councillor’s wife scorned.

Taking the stand during the trial of her husband on corruption charges yesterday, Jenny Forsey admitted she was furious when she discovered her husband was seeing another woman, but denied that revenge was the motivation for contacting gardaí.

Former Fine Gael councillor Fred Forsey Jr, 42, has pleaded not guilty to receiving €80,000 in three corrupt payments from a developer in 2006.
