Daughter hits out at salacious ‘Haughey’

The daughter of former justice minister Seán Doherty has attacked RTE’s depiction of him in a mini-series centred on Charles Haughey.

Roscommon-based Fianna Fáil councillor Rachel Doherty branded the portrayal “cartoonish”.

Her intervention follows criticism, last week, by Mary O’Rourke, a former cabinet member, of the way her brother Brian Lenihan had been presented.
