3. The grandniece of IRA figure Joe Cahill, who alleged she was raped by an IRA member, has claimed she had to face her alleged assailant in a republican-style court.

Maíria Cahill also said yesterday that several people, numbering in “double figures”, had contacted her to recount similar experiences at the hands of IRA members.

Ms Cahill, who has waived her right to anonymity, told BBC’s Spotlight programme she had been subjected to what was described as a republican “kangaroo court”. She alleged that in 1997 she underwent a 12-month cycle of sexual abuse, including rape, by a suspected member of the IRA. She was 16 at the time.

Ulster Unionist Party leader Mike Nesbitt has raised the allegations with PSNI Chief Constable George Hamilton, while the Police Ombudsman Dr Michael Maguire is investigating how the PSNI investigated the case.
