Maurice McCabe: I would not have spoken out if I knew of abuse to come

Garda whistleblower Maurice McCabe has said if he had known at the outset the abuse he would suffer for lifting the lid on corruption within the gardaí he "would never have done it".

Mr McCabe, who formally left the force last month after being vindicated by an investigation, detailed how he became a victim of online abuse in the form of "obscene" photographs by former Garda colleagues on social media sites.
