McDonald: No Sinn Féin regrets over Cahill case

Sinn Féin deputy leader Mary Lou McDonald has insisted she has no regrets over how her party reacted to the Maíria Cahill sex abuse scandal.

Ms McDonald simply said “I don’t” when asked if she felt she and her party should have responded differently to the revelations last October.

Speaking on a year-in-review debate on RTÉ radio, Ms McDonald said she feels “an immense sense of sympathy” for anyone who was sexually “violated”.
