If the stories as printed today in the Sunday Tribune concerning Gerry Adams and his knowledge of at least two other cases of rape and abuse by prominent Sinn Féin members are true, then he is finished. As he should be.
The stories are hard to read with some graphic and horrific detail of what a ten-year old girl went through. The Sunday Tribune claims to have seen and verified documentation from medical and other sources that seem to back up her claims.
What the hell is going on? How can ordinary decent members of SF continue to defend the indefensible? I have written before that this country is in a catharsis. That extends north of the border too it would seem.
Please, Mr Adams. If there is a modicum of truth that you knew these things about members of your party you and did nothing, then you must resign.
God help those poor women. They will need all the strength they can muster to break this wall of silence that they have encountered and to get justice for themselves and to protect other children from their terrible fate.
