What is the meaning of highlighted portion

That’s a load of shite. Cathal didn’t confess to any murders, because we didn’t commit any murders. I haven’t a clue what happened to those kids and I don’t give a damn. I’ve nothing to say about them. I just want to know who did this to Katy.

The expression "to not give a ****" (normally in the negative) means to not care at all. Numerous words and phrases can be substituted for "****" to produce the same meaning, such as "monkey's", "toss" (mildly vulgar), "sh*t" (vulgar), "f*ck" (vulgar), "fig", "hoot", "rat's ****" (vulgar), and so on and so forth. Oxfam (a British charity) had an eye-catching slogan, encouraging people to give up some of their time to work in their shops: "give a shift".

This is pronounced like might and kite. It's a variant that would mean the same whether the e is included or not. It's used in the UK and Ireland.
