DPP will not bring case against ex-minister over abuse claims

Irish Red Cross chairman and former Fianna Fáil minister Pat Carey has expressed his satisfaction with the Director of Public Prosecutions’ decision that he will not face prosecution in respect of abuse allegations widely publicised in 2015.

The Irish Examiner has confirmed that Mr Carey’s solicitor was told by gardaí within the last month of the direction that he should face no further action.
