Maurice McCabe: False sex abuse claim by Tusla destroyed my family

It has emerged that the file containing the false allegation of abuse was opened by Tusla and circulated to gardaí in 2013. However, no effort was made to substantiate the claim.
The abuse allegations were made by a young woman in August 2013 to a counsellor, who then contacted Tusla and gardaí. However, Sgt McCabe was neither contacted nor made aware of the allegations.
