"Social Democrats TD Gary Gannon has apologised to Alan Shatter after a social media post incorrectly suggested that the former justice minister had links with Jeffrey Epstein"
"After the latest release of millions of Epstein files by the US Department of Justice, false claims emerged online that said Mr Shatter, a former Dublin Fine Gael TD, had met Epstein."
Social Democrats TD Gary Gannon apologised to Alan Shatter after a social media post incorrectly suggested that the former justice minister had links with Jeffrey Epstein. The apology followed the release of millions of Epstein files by the US Department of Justice, which prompted a surge of online misinformation. False claims emerged alleging that Mr Shatter, a former Dublin Fine Gael TD, had met Epstein. Gannon acknowledged the error and issued an apology to Shatter. The incident shows how high-profile document releases can lead to rapid, unverified accusations against public figures.
