A woman whose three children were sexually abused by her ex-boyfriend said that an appeal against his sentence was rejected.

Georgina Tuohey had called for the DPP to appeal boxing coach Brendan Cornally’s 17-and-a-half year sentence for the rape and sexual assault of her two sons and the sexual assault of her daughter.
