Political point scoring does a disservice to Mairia Cahill

The politicisation of the Máiria Cahill case is doing a disservice to the Irish political process and all victims of the northern conflict, argues Dolan O’Hagan.

"At his best, man is the noblest of all animals; separated from law and justice he is the worst." - Aristotle

The circumstances which lead to the miscarriage of justice experienced by Máiria Cahill cannot be separated from the hugely dysfunctional way the North existed and operated during the troubles.
