Rape victim ‘delighted’ at Kenny meeting

Rape victim Fiona Doyle says she is “delighted” that Enda Kenny has agreed to meet her and sees it as a sign that he is willing to listen to victims of sexual crimes.

Ms Doyle, whose father walked free from court on Monday despite admitting raping her over a period of 10 years, will give Mr Kenny her “full story” and wants him to see the consequences of rape on her and her family.

Ms Doyle had sought the meeting with the Taoiseach after waiving her right to anonymity in the prosecution, only to see her 72-year-old father, Patrick O’Brien, handed a 12-year sentence with nine years suspended. He was freed on bail to await an appeal on the jail term.
