Adams: I've passed information on abuse to gardaí

The Dáil is discussing the allegations of sexual abuse by members of the Provisional Republican movement.

Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams has told the Dáil he has received information from a republican source on allegations of sexual abuse, and has passed it to the gardaí.

"I have received information from a republican source in relation to these matters. It came to me anonymously, and while I cannot vouch for it, neither do I doubt its authenticity," he said.
