Opposition set to attack over rape law crisis

THE Government will be put on the rack today over last week’s rape law crisis, as opposition parties demand a full independent inquiry into the Government’s and the Attorney General’s (AG) handling of the issue.

As the fallout from the crisis continues, the Government has cancelled a Cabinet meeting in Wicklow tomorrow in order to avoid any negative perceptions which may result from its absence from the Dáil.

The meeting will be held in Government buildings.
