Sinn Féin fails to respond to queries about why it did not report abuser to gardaí when it knew he was working with autistic children
Two men who were the victims of child sexual abuse by a prominent IRA member, which they claim Sinn Féin later covered up, have accused the party’s leader Mary Lou McDonald of “absolute hypocrisy”.
Abuse victim Paudie McGahon said that he and a second man who were raped as teenagers by an IRA volunteer have “been left sickened and disgusted” by Ms McDonald’s efforts to extricate the party from recent scandals.
