Orla Tinsley: I’d like to be telling you about my dream life, but here’s a nightmare from Ireland’s health system insteadIreland’s rugby haters celebrated, but what a confused and joyless bunch they must be Bringing the jury through the evidence of the trial, Mr McCormack said that when giving the boy grinds in his house, Ms McSherry O’Connor discussed how certain music made her “horny” and started saying things of a sexual nature about boyfriends.This was a 24-year-old student teacher and a 12-year-old child, the jury was told. “This isn’t a flighty teenager, this is a HDip student, someone in a position of responsibility,” prosecution counsel said.
“Because is telling you the truth. This is a true, accurate and consistent version of events and I’m suggesting you can return verdicts of guilt on both charges before the court, and you can do so with a clear conscience.” Mr McGrath told the jury Ms McSherry O’Connor was “a person who has been a teacher for a long, long time” in which nothing of this kind had been alleged against her.
