FrancieBrady wrote: » Very difficult to deal with the 'call to the house' when you have people spreading lies about it. That the visit was abusive or that it was a visit by 'heavies'. That was never inferred by the girl. Christine O'Mahony herself tweeted his name and talks about her 'friendship' with him.

In he was in her local cumann, then he must be someone from the neighbourhood, unless Sinn Fein are importing members from somewhere else? As to him being a friend as has been suggested, what a load of nonsense. He was known to her, which made the threat even more sinister. That you don't see the problem with a vulnerable young woman getting an intimidatory visit to her house by a local heavy is incredible. She has been incredibly brave to speak out.
Thank you I really did not want to rat publicly on my neighbour I asked the media to not mention him but this lad sean has been abusive to me so now I've just named my neighbour and I've probably ruined our friendship So thank you sean

In fact her main concern is for her parents being involved and trying to isolate in a pandemic. You are the one looking a bit desperate in your portrayal of this. Do what I try to do in all of these situations...stick to the known facts.https://twitter.com/christineomg5/status/1334967574828879872
