Rape victim gives police ‘35 abusers’ names’

Abuse victim Mairia Cahill has passed on the names of around 35 alleged abusers to the gardaí and PSNI.

Ms Cahill said she feels more people will now come forward following recent allegations made by Louth man Paudie McGahon.

Earlier this week, Mr McGahon, 40, from Louth, revealed he was raped by a senior republican in the 1990s and was made to face a ‘kangaroo court’ in 2002.
