Broadcaster Eoghan McDermott has said false allegations were spread widely about him a number of months ago – despite not being investigated or verified.
The former RTÉ presenter said he is still processing the effects of the allegations and now hopes to close the chapter.
Mr Mc Dermott today tweeted a solicitor’s letter, received by his own solicitors, which acknowledged 'false allegations' were made against him on twitter.
A few months ago, false allegations were made about me. 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.

The letter states that their client accepts there was a number of serious falsehoods contained in her publications.
It's the first time Mr McDermott has commented on the allegations since his departure from RTÉ.
At the request of and with consideration for the other party to this dispute, I will not be commenting any further on this matter. pic.twitter.com/8NI8fEhSSv
