Five years is the maximum sentence? Well honestly that seems low to begin with and the person that burned his clothes to do away with Ashling's DNA should have gotten closer to the maximum sentence. I'm sick of the way judges give such low sentences to people who don't plead guilty to begin with.

This sums it all up pretty well:
What we saw yesterday wasn't about the "protecting our children" at all.
Thousands of Irish children are allegedly sexually assaulted every single year on our island.
But by white guys!!
Usually family/ friends of family.
No riots for them ofcourse... 🤔

I can't stand racists and xenophobes, but I particularly detest those racists and xenophobes who are against immigration in Ireland who immigrated to ireland like your man that appeared in court today for his actions at #Citywest last night.

Catherine Connolly committed to learning fluent Irish in 2004, well into adulthood, after regretting not being able to do a live interview with RnaG. Then she actually followed through. How is it ‘elitist’ to expect the same thing of a literal Minister of the Gaeltacht

Journalists!
If someone is only concerned about the safety of women and children when those who attack them are immigrants, they are racist.
It is entirely OK to say that, no matter who they are. 👍
