Sexual harassment case by Nationwide presenter Bláthnaid Ní Chofaigh against RTÉ postponed until September

Bláthnaid Ní Chofaigh Image: RTÉ Bláthnaid Ní Chofaigh Image: RTÉ A SEXUAL HARASSMENT case being taken against RTÉ by well-known broadcaster, Bláthnaid Ní Chofaigh, has been postponed until September due to the unavailability of several of the station’s witnesses to give evidence.

Bruton said Ní Chofaigh had been waiting a long time for the case to come to hearing and she was anxious that the matter could proceed and be brought to finality. O’Neill informed all parties that he would be directing that all witnesses in the case would be granted anonymity and their names should not be published by media covering the hearing.

O’Neill explained that the alleged incident involved “a couple of high-profile individuals” who were completely incidental to the central allegations of the case but he believed their names “should not come out.”

Man jailed for rape, sexual assault of sisterA man who raped and sexually assaulted his youngest sister when he was a teenager has been jailed for three years. Too right. Let it be known. He destroyed a life and just 4.5 years jail time with the last 18 months suspended. I wonder about these judges. 3 years? This should carry a mandatory 10 year sentence, at least.
