A mother made her daughter write out “terribly elaborate and grossly inappropriate sexual allegations in a diary" against her father, a court has heard.

At the Family Law Court, a Tusla social care worker told Judge Alec Gabbett that the girl admitted to garda specialist interviewers in July that she had fabricated the sex abuse allegations against her father.
