Carey revelations are greeted with shock

TDs, former government ministers and marriage equality campaigners reacted with shock last night to revelations that former Fianna Fáil junior minister Pat Carey is the subject of “innuendo” of allegations of child abuse.

The individuals, who declined to comment on the record due to the legal nature of the case, said they were stunned at the news after the former TD said he is aware of “innuendo” claiming he is the individual who is the subject of the claims, but denied any suggestion of impropriety or wrongdoing.
