Kenny: SF must tell if rapists were sent to South

Sinn Féin has been put under intense pressure by Taoiseach Enda Kenny to reveal anything it knows about sex offenders moved across the border to the Republic by the IRA.

Mr Kenny insisted Sinn Féin had serious questions to answer after he met rape victim Maíria Cahill who says she was subjected to a “kangaroo court” by senior IRA figures who made her confront her attacker.

Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams has strongly denied that he, or his party, have been involved in any cover-up of Ms Cahill’s case, or any other sexual assaults by IRA members.
