Gardaí deny SF claims of ‘sitting on’ abuse

Row erupts as Tánaiste links republicans with paedophilia

Gardaí and the Department of Justice have rejected Sinn Féin claims that they sat on an inquiry into sex abuse allegations against a Gaeltacht teacher.

Sinn Féin deputy leader Mary Lou McDonald made the allegation against justice authorities yesterday in the Dáil saying that victims of Domhnall Ó Lubhlaí — now deceased — had been left facing a “brick wall” looking for the truth.
