Ireland's so-called 'rape shield' to protect victims from intrusive personal questions is not working (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sexual violence affects a significant proportion of Irish society. The CSO 2022 Sexual Violence Survey tells us at least 52% of women and 28% of men have experienced sexual crimes. However, the overwhelming majority of these crimes never reach the courtroom. Only about 5% of rape survivors and 12% of child sexual abuse survivors ever report to An Garda SÃochána. About a fifth of these make it to prosecution. You have reached your article limit. Already a subscriber? Sign in Be the first to kno
Budget 2027 must give disabled people real choice (opens the original)
Read excerpt
My name is Tomás Murphy, and Iâm a person with an intellectual disability. I'm co-chairperson of the board of directors of Inclusion Ireland.

Our experience of childcare in the two countries could not be more different. In Finland, the system is completely public, with the staff all paid by the state, usually on permanent contracts, with holidays, pensions and all the usual entitlements of a good job. Our children have been with the same
Parenting must be political in the shadow of climate change and the planet our children will inherit (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In 2016, I became a mother for the first time. Many first-time mothers experience a profound shift in perspective and concern for the health and wellbeing of their new baby, which can become an intense focus on their childâs health, safety and nutrition. My ânew motherâ anxiety became fixated on climate change and the degradation of the planet she would inherit. I spent the first few years of her life becoming increasingly preoccupied with the subject, endeavouring to change every aspect o
