Cathal Crotty,Dublin,Natasha O'

Hundreds of people have attended protests this afternoon in support of assault victim Natasha O’Brien across Ireland.

Judge Tom O'Donnell said Mr Crotty's actions were"utterly appalling", but said he had"no doubt" if he imposed an immediate jail sentence on Crotty his Army"career is over".

They are also demanding character references cannot be given in ‘gender-based violence cases’ and “a massive overhaul of the misogynistic legal system”. “Questions must be asked about an Army officer giving a character reference in court - the Irish Defence Forces has a history of allegations of violence, misogyny and sexual abuse in its ranks.”
