Garda phones to be checked in probe into Pat Carey leak

Garda phones will be checked as part of an inquiry into how information into alleged abuse by a former minister was leaked.

Former minister Pat Carey says he does not know if he is the person at the centre of Garda investigation into alleged child abuse claims and this week resigned from several positions.

The claims have sent shockwaves through Leinster House but Mr Carey has denied any impropriety and says he has “no knowledge” of the allegations of abuse reported.
