The girl, given the name Niamh in the report, came to the attention of services at the age of 14, when she was found under the influence of drugs and alcohol. She left school without permission and was arrested for assault and, later, for drunken behaviour and fighting.

The report says Niamh received a “consistent, responsive and child-centred service” from social workers. “This case is poignant in its depiction of a young person clearly in distress and seeking help regarding her mental health.” Suggesting she may have been “overwhelmed” by the number of State agencies involved, it says the identification of one key agency to provide a trusting working relationship “may have provided an anchoring for both the family and the services involved”.

Kim was born three months prematurely, was “medically vulnerable” and needed specialist care to meet her developmental milestones.

The sentence does not represent the severity of the crime. You would not leave an animal on the side of the road if you knocked it down. No memory I very much doubt it. Christ what a horrific story - will we ever learn , if you have a drink leave the fucking car , a taxi is cheaper then 5 years prison and a lifetime of guilt
