Last week, Mairia Cahill spoke to Lunchtime with Jonathan Healy following an appearance on Spotlight and alleged she was raped by an IRA member when she was 16-years-old.

Ms Cahill has also made a series of allegations about how her case was dealt with by Sinn Féin President Gerry Adams, which he has repeatedly denied.

Following her meeting with Taoiseach Enda Kenny yesterday, Leaders' Questions was dominated by the intense discussion between Mr Kenny and Gerry Adams.

The Taoiseach informed the Dáil that there would be a comprehensive Dáil debate on the issue of abuse.

He also asked Adams to "confirm whether you know, as leader of your party whether Mairia Cahill was required to attend, in a room with three men and her abuser, members of the IRA and whether you are aware of any people who were moved down to this jurisdiction."

The Sinn Féin President apologised to victims who he says were let down and failed by IRA investigations. During the week, he also acknowledged for the first time that there was an IRA link to her abuse.

Mr Adams stated: “IRA actions against sex abusers failed victims. That is a matter of profound regret for me and other republicans. I am acutely conscious that there may be victims who were let down or failed by the IRA’s inability to resolve these issues."

Sinn Féin TD Peadar Tóibín spoke to Chris Donoghue on Newstalk Breakfast this morning about the Mairia Cahill case and asked whether he believed that Gerry Adams knew nothing else about any other cases.

Mr Tóibín stated that he believed Mr Adams and that he didn't think the Sinn Féin President had any more information about any other cases.
