Fiona Doyle: ‘I’m not a victim any more, I’m a survivor’

Abusive father gets 9 years in jail, after appeal on lenient sentence

“I’m not a victim any more, I’m now a survivor and that makes all the difference.”

That was how Fiona Doyle reacted after her father, Patrick O’Brien, was sentenced to 12 years in prison with the final three suspended, following a finding by the Court of Appeal that his original sentence was too lenient.
