Harris

Harris 'le leanacht' ag stocaireacht ar son John McGahon sa Lú.

Fine Gael leader Simon Harris has said that he will continue to lobby for his party's candidate in the Louth Constituency, Senator John McGahon, despite the concerns expressed by both Fianna Fáil and Sinn Féin.

Tá sé ráite ag ceannaire Fhine Gael Simon Harris, go leanfaidh sé ar aghaidh ag stocaireacht ar son iarrthóir a pháirtí i nDáilcheantar Lú, an Seanadóir John McGahon, ainneoin na himní atá léirithe ag Fianna Fáil agus Sinn Féin araon.

John McGahon was found not guilty in a 2022 trial of physically assaulting Breen White outside a pub in County Louth and the Sunday Times newspaper published photographs of Breen White's injuries today.

Fuarthas John McGahon neamhchiontach i dtriail i 2022 as ionsaí fisiciúil ar Breen White taobh amuigh de thábhairne i gContae Lú agus d'fhoilsigh an nuachtán an Sunday Times grianghraif de ghortuithe Breen White inniu.

Simon Harris said the images and videos from security systems were part of the evidence in the criminal trial but the jury found Senator McGahon not guilty.

Dúirt Simon Harris gur chuid den fhianaise sa triail choiriúil iad na h-íomhánna agus na físeáin ó chórais slándála ach go bhfuair giúiré an Seanadóir McGahon neamhchiontach.

Earlier today Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin said: "It seems that the victim in this case did not get the response that he should have received.

Níos luaithe inniu dúirt ceannaire Fhianna Fáil Micheál Martin: "Is cosúil nach bhfuair an t-íospartach sa chás seo an freagra a cheapfaí a ba cheart dó a fháil.

And I think that the matter is serious and that it is a matter for Fine Gael of course."

Agus ceapaim go bhfuil an tábhar tromchúiseach agus gur ceist do Fhine Gael é ar ndóigh."

Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald described what happened outside the pub as "violent" and "brutal" and questioned how Simon Harris could support John McGahon as a candidate.

"Foréigneach" agus "brúidiúíl" an cur síos a rinne ceannaire Shinn Féin Mary Lou McDonald ar an méid a tharla taobh amuigh den teach tábhairne agus cheistigh sí conas a d'fhéadfadh Simon Harris tacú le John McGahon mar iarrthóir.

However, the deputy leader of Fine Gael, Helen McEntee said that she also supports the Senator - that the courts have dealt with the matter and it is noteworthy that he claimed that he was defending himself.

Dúirt leascheannaire Fhine Gael, Helen McEntee áfach go dtacaíonn sise chomh maith leis an Seanadóir - gur phléigh na cúirteanna leis an ábhar agus gur díol suntais gur mhaígh sé gur á chosaint féin a bhí sé.

Although John McGahon was found not guilty in a criminal trial, he was found 65% responsible for damages in a subsequent civil case.

Cé go bhfuarthas John McGahon neamhchiontach i dtriail choiriúil, fuarthas 65 faoin gcéad freagrach as damáistí é i gcás sibhialta ina dhiaidh sin.

The High Court ordered him to pay €39,000 to Breen White.

D'ordaigh an Ardchúirt dó €39,000 a íoc le Breen White.

Breen White told the Sunday Times today that he is disappointed that John McGahon was chosen as Fine Gael's candidate.

Dúirt Breen White leis an Sunday Times inniu go bhfuil díomá air gur roghnaíodh John McGahon mar le bheith ina iarrthóir ag Fine Gael.
