The case is the latest to be taken by a Sinn Féin politician against a media organisation. Party leader Mary Lou McDonald initiated defamation proceedings against RTÉ last year. That claim is linked to the case of Máiría Cahill, who was raped as a teenager by a man who was in the IRA. Former party leader Gerry Adams – who previously won a settlement in a libel action against the Sunday World – is suing the BBC in the High Court in Dublin over claims relating to the late IRA informer Denis Donaldson. Some years ago Mr Adams won an apology from Louth radio station LMFM about Tom Oliver, the Co Louth Protestant farmer murdered by the IRA.
