But thatās attend not give a reference no?
Iāve no idea. Think they have to attend Court if thereās a soldier on trial but not sure where it stands as regards character references. Of course theyāll always appear in full uniform either way which shouldnāt be allowed imo.
Definitely not is my reading of it, his brief is to report back and nothing else unless he wants to give a reference i reckon.
I dunno I just pasted from the article. I have some sympathy for the officer there, presumably they asked him something like what was your view of the of this fella as a soldier. You can see how he was selectively quoted from.
The girl in question was on the tonight show there now.
This judge may have done us a favour this time. Theyāre not answerable to anyone.

I see as well where the judge ordered the offender to pay 3,000 quid to the victim.
Talk about adding insult to injury.

He has loads of form for making decisions like this Tom OāDonnell - RTE didnāt think much of the decision when it was their lead story on the news.
Beating the shit of a woman and verbally abusing men with homophobic slurs.
Some piece of shit for our defence forces eh

Pat Kenny is aghast at the sentence.
its without prejudice to civil proceedings, which would be a shoo in with a guilty verdict in a criminal trial, not that crotty the cunt would be a mark for damages.
How likely is it that DPP would appeal?
Given the public outrage Iād say likely.

The victim herself on news talk was outraged by the sentencing of, and backing of a recent high profile event in Limerick, and clearly equates the two.
Many of the same folk complaining about her attacker were lauding the previous one.
Go figure.

Whatās really going on here? Some issues between the guards and judges?
lenient judges far too focussed on the rights of the defendant rather than the rights of society and the victim. goes on far to regularly
