Charleton Tribunal: Senior Tusla executive denies cover-up over false abuse allegation

A senior Tusla executive has denied there was a cover-up after a false allegation of sexual abuse was placed in a file against garda whistleblower Sgt Maurice McCabe.

The agency’s chief operations officer Jim Gibson also told the Charleton tribunal, which is looking at claims of a smear campaign against Sgt McCabe, that he wasn’t aware of any evidence of improper garda meddling in the case.
