Ahern to face grilling on rape law crisis

Taoiseach Bertie Ahern is likely to face tough questions in the Dáil today about the Mr A Case, which rocked the nation last week.

The Government cancelled the week-long Dáil June break amid opposition calls for debate after a 41-year-old man who had sex with a 12-year-old girl after plying her with drink was released early.
