The Sunday World's publishers also apologised for "false allegations" about the singer which appeared in an online report and on Facebook in 2014. In a statement issued by her solicitor after the hearing, Ms Scallon said the Sunday World's article and Facebook page "explicitly and falsely stated that I had engaged in a cover-up of child sex abuse".Her solicitor said the 2014 report had falsely stated that Ms Scallon had "given evidence at her brother's trial about steps she had taken in relation to him".
