Cut and dried case of female on male domestic violence

This man is in serious danger of being murdered or seriously injured. Yet he's back with her and the judge is delighted. Surely she should be kept away from him?

Where does it say in the article that the judge was delighted?

Your mans ****ing stone mad to get back with her but no different from anyone who stays with an abusive partner.

Unfortunately once a woman has kids it's literally a "get out of jail free" card.


Doesn't help that this probably falls under a "domestic" dispute and the poor fecker is probably the father of the child. Although I reckon him spending the €500 compensation on a DNA test would be money well spent.

Don't know if there were any other charges going by the article, but from it, she was convicted of dangerous driving, plenty of people avoid prison time for that and just get disqualified from driving.

The guy probably refused to press charges, so the only thing the guards could charge her with without his testimony was the driving charge.

Really, he'd probably have a good case to take custody of the child (assuming it's his) but since she's 21 I imagine he is not much older and has to keep on good terms to see his kid.

Plus have you thought about how wild the night life must be with that poltergeist?

This story has actually gained a bit of international traction online, was posted on Reddit earlier as well. The truth is that IMO, while I absolutely do agree that women tend to get extremely lenient treatment for the same crimes compared with men, I don't think you can look at an Irish court and make any such conclusions, since Irish courts throw suspended sentences around like confetti at a Christening. I don't think there's any gender issue about this story, just yet another story to add to the fairly gender neutral pile of "judges in Ireland routinely let dangerous and serious criminals off with less than a slap on the wrist".

My type of gal....


What has happened to after hours...

I wonder if roles were reversed how his sentence would be for what sounds like attempted maiming.
Crushed by a car intentionally, good god.

Something tells me they will make headlines again with her once more the aggressor

What a piece of work

Again, this is Ireland. Brian Rattigan is apparently up for release as early as next year. I don't think this is a gender bias situation as much as a "people in Ireland routinely serve either less time than they deserve, or no time at all" situation.

This level of crazy isn't a once off, she'll do something again.

Women just aren't as dangerous as men so they'll never have the same rules applied to them, it wouldn't make sense. It's like car insurance!

If she's like that on the streets, imagine what she's like between the sheets.

Driving offences get very light punishment in this country so it's not a surprise.

She rammed him with a car and pulled a pair of scissors.

Try doing retail security for a while and you'll see some of them are.

Anne Fellonis for example was a **** and wouldn't think twice about stabbing someone.
