-----based on the New Zealand model. Serious crimes of the nature I have just described do not come within the remit of the New Zealand programme. Will the Tánaiste and the Government agree to a review of the Irish programme to ensure this does not happen again? The issue of consent is the current topic of discussion among young people and everybody else in Ireland. I can assure the Tánaiste that this family did not consent to the issuing of a caution being the only reaction to this crime as result of which this young girl's life was practically destroyed. I ask the Tánaiste to ensure that a system of appeal is made available to the families and victims of such crimes.
