A Sinn Féin TD has today revealed that Sinn Féin has procedures in place since the early 1990s in relation to child protection.

The party's environment Spokesperson and TD for Laois-Offaly, Brian Stanley, was defending Sinn Féin's credibility on the issue of child abuse, following Mairia Cahill's allegations of a sexual abuse cover-up.
