Sinn Féin president Gerry Adams claims the case of Belfast woman Mairia Cahill has been unfairly politicised.

Rape victims whose abuse claims were dealt with outside of the statutory justice system have been urged to come forward and have their cases investigated by the proper authorities.

As the Northern Ireland Secretary, Theresa Villiers, is not keen to have the Kincora Boys’ Home abuses aired in the media, because of “sensitivity”, would the self-appointed social workers in Dáil Eireann step in?

Outrage erupted after a leading former IRA figure shared a blog post suggesting rape victim Maíria Cahill enjoyed a "year-long sexual liaison" with her attacker.

A women's aid campaigner claims some "gatekeepers" in the North still don't encourage victims of sexual violence to go to the proper authorities.

Mairia Cahill says she is convinced that other victims of abuse will come forward and discredit Sinn Fein's assertions that it didn't cover up sexual abuse.

Maíria Cahill is to meet with Northern Ireland's First Minister, Peter Robinson, today.

Gerry Adams has admitted he regrets how the IRA dealt with rapists.

Sinn Féin President Gerry Adams has again rejected Mairia Cahill's claims he met with her over an allegation she was sexually assaulted and raped by a leading republican.
