There have been further reactions to Natasha O’Brien’s assaulter Cathal Crotty, member of the Irish Defence Forces walking free with a suspended sentence. She was attacked unprovoked in Limerick, which left her unconscious. Since the verdict, Limerick Pride have released a statement that says they do not welcome Defence Forces in their uniform at their parade.

Joining Kieran to give their reactions to the case and discuss is Brian Merriman, Founder of the International Gay Theatre Festival and Cynthi Ní Mhuirchu, MEP for Ireland South.
