Cahill 'vindicated' after prosecutor apology over alleged IRA abuse
The North’s director of public prosecutions has apologised to three woman who accused an alleged IRA member of allegedly abusing them as children after a damning report criticised how his prosecution was handled.
The independent review by Keir Starmer was also critical of how prosecutors dealt with additional accusations made by one of the woman – Máiría Cahill - that she was subject to interrogation by the IRA in the wake of the alleged abuse.
