The Taoiseach has strongly criticised the Defence Forces after it emerged it’s reviewing how many serving members have convictions for gender-based violence.
Cathal Crotty, of Parkroe Heights, Ardnacrusha, Co Clare, last Thursday received a fully suspended sentence for the assault which he boasted about on social media.Judge Tom O'Donnell said Mr Crotty's actions were"utterly appalling", but said he had"no doubt" if he imposed an immediate jail sentence on Crotty his army"career is over".
Speaking on his way into today's Cabinet meeting, Taoiseach Simon Harris, expressed his anger at the developments."Would the Defence Forces be carrying out the review that they're now carrying out, was there not so much public interest in this? Meanwhile, a protest will take place outside Leinster House this evening in solidarity with Natasha O'Brien.
