    Concurrent sentences should NOT be allowed in cases where violence has been used in any way and in serious crime such as rapes/sexual abuse/child pornography etc.

    @FiannaFáilness FineGaelness: The aloof wigs do not deal with the reality of most people’s lives. Let’s rehabilitate the criminals, give them quick medical care, education etc if needed; the victims? Tough, wrong place, wrong time. 6 years ago my wife was in a hospital A&E dept for 33 hours before getting a room. About half through that awful ordeal 2 prison officers arrived with a prisoner. One of the officers was my neighbour & he told me that the prisoner will be seen quickly. He was & they were gone in just under 3 hours. Bloody disgraceful it was.
