‹ Order of Business Sexual-crime sentencing law
Summary
Senator Conway calls for a review of sentencing in sexual cases and a debate on strengthening the law, while the Chair again stresses judicial independence.
Shakespeare once said that something was rotten in the state of Denmark. From what I read in the newspaper this morning, it seems something is rotten in the Dublin Circuit Criminal Court. It is appalling to think that money can buy one's way out of jail. The Minister for Justice and Equality needs to review sentencing in sexual cases.

Senator, you have to respect the independence of the Constitution and the Judiciary.
