Listening to the debates over the weekend, two words struck me: "hypocrisy" and "cover-up". On the hypocrisy of the leader of Sinn Féin, Deputy Gerry Adams, it took the courage of a young woman, Mairía Cahill, who had been violated to finally get an admission from him that there was the practice of having kangaroo courts within the Republican movement, which was a second abuse, on top of the horrendous violation of a young woman. I was the Senator who approached Senator David Cullinane to ask if he, as a Member of this House, and other Sinn Féin Members would be condemning this practice. Instead we heard him say that if there was any proof, it should be shown to him. Where are we going? Are we growing new, little versions of Gerry Adams in this House?
