Enda Kenny shocked as man who raped daughter for 10-years released on bail

First let me commend Fiona Doyle for her bravery. Her speaking out, not only speaks to her own pain, but the pain of many other victims of this outrageous and cruel act. Patrick O'Brien like all sexual abusers is a coward and a schemer and the justice system in Ireland, in it's blatant disregard, failed to consider the serious repercussions these acts have ton the whole of society, more so when it's permitted to go unpunished. Shame on Ireland, if they do not speak out to have this travesty of justice corrected.

Really, he gets to walk because of age and health ?!? Why do we look at offenders who are old and pity them? He victimized a child who was vulnerable and needy based on age. He didn't care so why should we now care that he is now vulnerable and needy based on his age?

This "judge"should be removed from the bench and be barred from practicing law period!

I praise Enda Kenny for speaking out.

If you want a good look at the deeply reactionary face of the conservative Irish judiciary, here it is. This is also how it consistently rules when it comes to sexual violence against women. These entitled oafs could find common cause with the Taliban.
