How George Gibney has run from child abuse allegations for over 30 years

For 30 years disgraced former Irish swim coach George Gibney (77) has avoided child abuse allegations, relocating around the United States and refusing to answer questions about his past. On Tuesday he was detained by US marshals on foot of the extradition request, and Gibney now sits in a Florida jail as officials attempt to extradite him to Ireland to face 79 charges of sexual offences against four young girls between 1971 and 1981. Today on The Indo Daily, Tessa Fleming is joined by Maeve Sheahan, Senior Correspondent with The Sunday Independent, and Chalkie White, a former swimming student who has made allegations of abuse against George Gibney, to discuss how one of Irish sports darkest stories might be reaching a new chapter. This episode of The Indo Daily features discussion surrounding alleged sexual abuse and may not be suitable for everyone.
