Growing Facebook anger at sex offender support
A total of 5,150 people have, to date, joined the ‘Shocked by reaction in Listowel’ Facebook page to show their disgust at the actions of the people in the courtroom, including priest Fr Seán Sheehy, who yesterday was forced to withdraw from parish work following the controversy.
A group of about 50 people in the Tralee courtroom shook hands with attacker Danny Foley, while his 24-year-old victim sat nearby and looked on.
