A woman who was stabbed more than 20 times in a vicious knife attack that killed her best friend is calling for a victims’ rights advocate to be appointed to the new parole board.
Sinead O’Leary said that including someone to represent victims is vital to maintain a balance on the new board as a non-governmental advocate for prisoners will have a seat on the board.
