The veteran Donegal performer, then aged 20, was on medication for injuries she suffered in a road accident and was having blackouts when the attack happened.

“After singing one night, I felt dizzy and had one of my blackouts and as I was coming round, this man, whom I knew, was performing a lewd act in my presence and though I was never physically raped, I was forced to perform a sex act on this person,” the 63-year old sister of entertainer Daniel, reveals in her new autobiography.
