The woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, told gardaí nothing of a sexual nature ever occurred between herself and her younger brother, and that his allegations against her were all untrue and were “total lies”. “I wish to state nothing of a sexual nature ever happened between my brother and I. I did occasionally babysit. Nothing of a sexual nature ever happened. “There was a suggestion that if I withdrew my application [for access to the child], nothing would be said,” the woman told gardaí, adding that she was extremely shocked, disgusted and upset to hear the allegations. She told gardaí her brother would phone her at 2am or 3am when he was a student to get a lift home, and she would pick him up.
