Máiría Cahill was born into the highest echelons of Sinn Fein and the Provisional IRA.
She was raped by a republican when she was 16, and subjected to a traumatising ‘investigation’ by the IRA. She was subsequently badly treated by the Northern Ireland justice system. With great courage, she waived her anonymity to tell the story of what happened to her, hoping to empower other women who might have suffered the same fate. She is now a journalist who continues to highlight injustice, regardless of its origins.
She will be in conversation with Kathy Sheridan, Irish Times columnist and investigative journalist.
