Social worker says she was not instructed by manager to visit home of whistleblower garda Harrison

"It's not about my feelings. It's about my professional reputation...The inference is made that we abused our power, and that is not the case."

Two senior Tusla officials in Co Donegal have told the Charleton tribunal that they felt their professional integrity was attacked by allegations that the child protection agency was "leaned on" to investigate whistle-blower garda Keith Harrison.

Social worker Donna McTeague told the inquiry that she was not directed by gardaí or her line manager to make a visit to the home of Garda Harrison and his partner Marisa Simms in February 2014.
