WICKLOW

A woman who was raped as a child by her father for 10 years told Gardaí (police) that the abuse became as frequent as having dinner, a court has heard.

Fiona Doyle (née O’Brien) said her father, Patrick O'Brien (72), raped her every night when her mother went out to play bingo.

Waiving her right to anonymity, she told the Central Criminal Court that no sentence imposed on O'Brien could “undo the enormous damage that my father has done to me.”

She said: “It is something I have lived with since I was a young child and it's something I will have to live with until the day I die.”
