Sex for Asylum

Last weekend a story broke in the UK, of how a Home office official had offered a speedy asylum process to a Zimbabwean rape victim (18) in return for sex.

Many Irish people might have missed this, being concentrated as they were on asylum seekers in St. Patrick's cathedral, and since then Mc dowell's legal disaster which puts our children at risk and has blown the lid on the judicial treatment of underage sex and the questionable sentances handed down.

The UK story makes an interesting "compare & contrast".
