Statement by TUV leader Jim Allister:-
“Tonight through BBC Spotlight we had a further expose of Sinn Fein and Adams’ cover ups of sexual abuse allegations and failure to report complaints to the lawful authorities. Withholding information is but one of the criminal offences which should come into play.
“But the PSNI also has questions to answer about the feet-dragging in investigating those aspects of Mairia Cahill’s complaints which put prominent republicans on the wrong side of the law. Once more the dark shadow of political considerations hang over due process.
“I will be asking the Justice Minister what inquiries he now proposes to initiate, though on past form he will run a mile from any meaningful action.”
