Do we need to get rid of character references in sexual offence cases?
Published 2 months ago
Description
Former Fianna Fáil TD Jim Glennon has confirmed that he submitted a character reference for Daniel Ramamoorthy, a former Government Adviser who was convicted of the sexual exploitation of a 13-year-old boy in 2017.
This raises the question: should character references be abolished in sexual offence cases?
Joining Shane to discuss this is Barrister Katherine McGillicuddy.
