A WOMAN WHO made a number of allegations online against former 2FM presenter Eoghan McDermott last year has said a number of the statements she made were false and she regrets “publishing the inaccuracies”.
Through her solicitor, she has accepted that she was above the age of consent when they met, that she falsely claimed McDermott fled the country as a result of the claims and that it was wrong of her to retweet unfounded allegations of sexual assault by third parties.
In a statement today, McDermott spoke of the false allegations made against him a number of months ago.
“Despite not being investigated or verified, these allegations were spread widely, the effects of which I am still processing. I hope the below can close this chapter,” he said.
McDermott shared a legal letter on behalf of a woman who had, through an anonymous Twitter account, posted tweets last year relating to the presenter.
The letter, from Mary Cowhey & Co solicitors to McDermott’s legal representation Gateley Tweed Solicitors, states that their client was willing to make a number of clarifications through their office.
It states their client “made false allegations against your client Mr McDermott”.
