Teenagers with no value for life and no care for repercussions - **Read OP**

Nolan is a disgrace

She was due to appear on the late late tonight but has pulled out.

Probably due to the sentence handed down.

So anyone who thinks four years is too little, wants him ‘locked up for life’? Classic boards straw-manning.

According to the article, the others are yet to be sentenced

It's amazing how often it's assumed that all these delinquents will magically change their ways after a very lenient sentence.

Any scrote I knew growing up are still scumbags as adults- if they haven't fallen into addiction or have gone to an early grave. They re-produce young and the cycle continues, except this time they have more immunity to wreak havoc because "the poor cratur has a young kid to consider".

I know there are instances of lads turning their life around and becoming counsellors or whatever, but they are only newsworthy becomes it happens so infrequently.

However bad Ireland is now its only getting worse. As a local Doctor said recently all the Wrong people are having Children - Often just for additional benefits.

Law Abiding Tax payers can only afford to have one or two whilst those on benefits all their lives will have 6 or more children . Ireland is a brillant country to be a waster .

A 13-year-old boy attacked a woman in Cork, kicked her in the head then sexually assaulted her got 18 months in Oberstown.

They know how to play the system like a fiddle. If that was a working family there would be a warrant issued.

Awh, Bless the poor fella. Scrotes!

Judges are not always issuing a sentence.

That's less than the minimum, if the accused is convicted.

I think the day will come where a victim of crime sues a judge or court because they didnt issue a standard/median sentence for a previous equivalent crime.

Person assaults victim A and the victim ends up in hospital. Person gets suspended sentence.

Person assaults Victim B and Victim B also ends up in hospital. Victim B sues the court for not imposing standard sentence following victim A trial.

If we can sue the council for broken paving stones, surely there is a case to sue the judiciary for not protecting the public from a known & convicted aggressor.

Stop treating them like criminals/prisoners and instead treat them as psychiatric patients. Drugs to alter their compulsion to commit crimes. Lobotomies for repeat offenders with more than 10 convictions. Prison isn’t a deterrent, but taking away their personality and altering them would be a deterrent.

who here would like to be locked in a psychiatric ward setting and fed drugs that will alter your personality. Or wonder what type of person you’d be after a lobotomy. Sounds a lot scarier than a prison cel doesn’t it?

That’s a decent sentence though considering his age at the time.

Who knows what the crime rates would actually be without the death penalty in countries that currently have it?

IE you cannot say with certainty that it doesn't effect crime rates either way.

If you don't want to participate in society and play by the rules you should be treated as such. A three strikes rule is fair with provision allowed for the person to undergo counseling and/or training in these spells depending on severity of the crime etc. Then a scale of removal of societal benefits. EG, social welfare payments, housing, benefits, with placement for mandatory labour in the community following then jail if required.

We have a weak justice system where these people are a law unto themselves, ultimately it will get to breaking point if it hasn't already and you will end up with more serious offences.

Even if I thought you were serious, which I don't (I certainly hope not anyhow) - considering that people suffering from actual and serious mental health issues can't get treatment within the psychiatric health system, I don't think your wild solutions will be getting considered any time soon. Thankfully.
