A spokesperson for the Government has confirmed that Taoiseach Enda Kenny is happy to meet with Maíria Cahill.

Ms.Cahill claims the IRA covered up and failed to report her alleged rape and sexual assault by a leading Republican.

A spokesperson for the Government says arrangements are being made to facilitate a meeting between Enda Kenny and Ms. Cahill.

A date has yet to be confirmed.

Speaking to Newstalk Lunchtime earlier this week, Mairia Cahill claimed Sinn Féin's Gerry Adams knew about her situation and met with her but failed to report the matter to authorities.

Mr Adams says he 'totally refutes' some of the allegations made by Ms Cahill, in particular comments she's attributed to him.

A man was acquitted of the abuse charges earlier this year, while other men charged in connection with the alleged IRA questioning of Ms Cahill were also found not guilty.
