Abuse survivor Mairia Cahill has said that the IRA man who she claims made her face her alleged rapist in a ‘kangaroo court’ is stalking her online.

Cahill, who had a 90-minute meeting with Taoiseach Enda Kenny yesterday, described the stalking as ‘disgusting’.

The abuse victim made the claims online last night.

Meanwhile, Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams has been challenged to reveal if sex offenders expelled from the North by the IRA were subsequently moved to the Republic.

Taoiseach Enda Kenny demanded yesterday in the Dail that Mr Adams confirm whether abusers who committed crimes in the North were placed in safe houses in Donegal, Louth and Dublin.

Mr Kenny said Mr Adams needs to come clean on whether "expelled" republican sex abusers are still living in the Republic.

"Are those people still here? Is this true? Do you know of any activities they are involved in now?," he asked during a heated exchange between the party leaders yesterday.

The Sinn Fein leader sparked outrage from the Taoiseach after he appeared to describe the leading IRA figures who subjected Cahill to a ‘kangaroo court’ investigation ‘decent people’.

"These are not nameless, anonymous people, these are decent people," he said.

Cahill recently told the Irish Independent she would welcome Irish government figures sitting down with the two women and one man that subjected her to the probe.

"I think, yes, people should meet that man and those two women who placed me into a room with my sexual abuser and allowed him to repeatedly tear strips off me by repeatedly hurling insults," she said.

"I wish somebody would meet them and ask them a question from me. Ask them was that the right thing to do to an 18-year-old, completely traumatised person, who had already suffered horrendous abuse in previous times," she added.
