I thank the Cathaoirleach. This morning I raise the issue in this House on the sentences being handed down by our courts. In the past week we have had two shocking examples. In the first case a man, who took part in a savage attack on a young woman which resulted in her being blinded in one eye, was given a four and a half year sentence. I realise the disappointment which was felt across the country in respect of that sentence.
