Marie Moloney (Labour)

I commend the rape victim, Ms Lorraine Mulvey, on her courage and bravery in speaking publicly about her terrible ordeal. She could have chosen to go down the route of being anonymous but she chose to speak publicly on the steps of the court to give an insight on the struggle of victims.

I call on the Leader to provide for an open debate on child sexual abuse and domestic violence. The Garda Inspectorate report released last month made 29 recommendations to align Garda practices with those of best international practice.
