The Director of Public Prosecutions has appealedthe sentence. This hearing is now before the appeal courts.
Some of the abuse the victim is receiving is horrendous.
Been saying this for almost 10 years.We are at about 14/15k and have been for a long time.I think we should have upped this by about 3k a decade ago just so there was more of a presence on the streets which would act as a deterrent to those gangs of kids beginning to cause trouble with ordinary people which escalated during covid but it also adding to the feeling of lawlessness that has taken over certain areas where Garda presence isn’t so obvious.

I haven’t seen any abuse for the victim thankfully. I am not on twitter, was it on that platform?
This kind of assault has been common in Ireland. Then we get all the right noises being made, solidarity walks and protests but nothing has changed.
This vile piece of pond scum needs jailing the judge who gave passed sentence needs stepping down. The country needs a reset. Our young woman are being assaulted and murdered and nothing is changing.

The facists are up in arms about one of the proud Irish men been harrangued whilst those unvetted refugees are raping and murdering at will.
And its the girls fault for provoking him and reporting it.
The agenda is set by these absolute thick cunts, and its getting worse.

He’s a scumbag.
Thankfully the decision has been appealed to the DPP.
Could this finally, finally be the one that brings change to our nation? Still lots to be done but this would be a step in the right direction, that violence and intimidation towards Mná Na hÉireann will no longer not be tolerated but also punishable with a severe custodial sentence.
The thing about the DPP appeal is that they are obliged to act if the victim is not reasonably satisfied with the sentence.
The arresting Garda liases with the victim in cases where a question exists over severity or lack of severity in the sentence.
I hadn’t realised that this was standard procedure. I believe in this instance they would have appealed anyway.
The guy is symptomatic of the ails of our society. A scum bag, lauded by scum bags. He needs jail, and to learn how real hard men behave.

I hope its a catalyst for more awareness of violence and more punishment for such acts.
The victim is a brave person, and should be held in the highest esteem.

Shameful how many brave victims we have had over the years though isn’t it.
I totally agree.
Lavinia Kerwick, Christine Buckley, tragically Ann Lovett. Countless others.
As far as I am concerned the Crotty scumbag sentencing is such a retrograde step in our history, as you pointed out particularly regarding Irish women.
The DPP have put it on the judges. The outcome will be telling.

Foil, Arms and Hog are brilliant. They were playing Berlin last year but events went against us and we missed it.

Conor McGregor has declared himself as the “logical” choice as Irelands next President.
Andrew Tate has stated he will use his Irish passport to vote for him.
The mere spectre of this as a conversation makes me weep for my country.
He won’t get the required nominations from councils or political parties. He would need 20 idiots in the Dail to nominate him…

It won’t be a serious conversation though,more to fill pages and time for the media.

General Election most likely to happen late November.
Sinn Fein are imploding, scandal after scandal.
FG and FF will most likely form the next government without need for the Greens. I think the Greens will lose seats anyway.
Labour/Social Democrats will be marginal winners at Sinn Feins expense.
FF might lose Michaèl Martin early next year, as many expect him to go for President.

At the moment, there are three members of the Green Party in the cabinet. If the Greens aren’t needed to form the next government, it can only lead to a swing rightwards.
Given the current political climate in Ireland, moving further to the right is the last thing the country needs.

I agree, we don’t need even a minor swing to the right.
The Greens have a poor election record post being in government however. Trends suggest that they become the fall guys for poor performance, and they invariably lose seats because of the bigger coalition partners.
FF and FG will possibly take 45 to 50% of the vote. Aligned with dead cert independents they will probably form a government without the Greens anyway.
I think Sinn Fein and Greens will lose marginal seats. I expect Social Democrats and Labour picking up, but neither will be involved in coalition.
Their best outcome is to generate an alliance of the left and present credible opposition in the next Dail.
The Far Right didn’t do well in council elections. I hope they don’t generate much support this time either.
