I have been in this woman's shoes. Same sentencing outcome in 2022 for an assault that, according to the Gardai, could easily have killed me. Same judge. While I understand the system, victims never get justice.

@ElenaSecas @DublinAirport @simoncoveney Elena, my bags have been picked for random checks numerous numerous times. There is an algorithm where every x bag gets pulled in for a manual search - happens at all airports. I do not think there is discrimination at work here with respect. Safe flight!

Just had a 'chat' with a Limerick TD canvassing. In the past I used not to bother but now I do. 3 issues 1) Housing for working adults in their 20s - non existent - my 2 poor ones are doomed to live with me 2) Curb the far-rights 3) Drug policy I'm sure you know how far I got.
