Rape victim seeks meeting with Kenny

Rape victim Fiona Doyle is seeking a meeting with Taoiseach Enda Kenny as pressure grows on the Government to reform sentencing laws for sex crimes.

A “distraught” Ms Doyle gathered with her family last night after her father, Patrick O’Brien, walked free from court on Monday despite admitting to raping her for a decade, starting the night before her First Holy Communion.

The case has “filled the nation with revulsion”, the Taoiseach told the Dáil, as he praised the “courage” of Ms Doyle, who waived her anonymity in the case.
