Callinan told TD: McCabe ‘fiddled’ with kids

TD John McGuinness has claimed that the former garda commissioner told him in Leinster House that Sergeant Maurice McCabe “fiddled” with children and garda whistleblowers were “fucking headbangers”.

In dramatic evidence to the Disclosures Tribunal, the former head of the Public Accounts Committee outlined rumours circulating around Kildare St about Sgt McCabe in early 2014.

These were “malicious” and included suggestions Sgt McCabe was involved in sexual abuse and that he was a paedophile.
