FITZGERALD UNDER FIRE OVER McCABE AFFAIR

Frances Fitzgerald will tonight address the Seanad as the Maurice McCabe controversy persists.

Opposition parties have expressed dissatisfaction with the Tanaiste's version of events regarding an email she received in May 2015 which mentioned serious criminal allegations against Maurice McCabe. But the whistleblower says the information in the e-mail is false, as those allegations were never mentioned at the O'Higgins Inquiry.
