Insane sentence. He did it, would have kept hitting her if he wasn't stopped by a passerby (bear in mind he was also in the company of friends who presumably stood watching it happen) and then bragged about it on social media. Fuck character references or guilty pleas. Should have ended up in a cell.

The justice system has failed women time and time again and male violence towards women appears to be on the rise.

I don't think we men are doing enough to call out sexist behaviour amongst our friends and other men.

It's worrying to see a growing trend of podcast bros blaming women and giving atrocious "advise" to young men through social media.

Just disgusting. How can this be possible in this day and age. Some fella can viciously assault a woman on the street and get a suspended sentence. What are these Judges thinking when they pass down sentence. They aren't fit for purpose. Character references should be done away with in assault cases. And as for the irish defence forces supporting this behaviour it is mind-boggling.

Mr here, I don't know much about the case! Assault is assault, few parts to this!

Any guy sober can take vast majority of women out! So guys are typically aware of this and don't strike out, even when hit. Not saying it's fair etc but our force back is different.

The army train to be physical, how to do damage and accept violence.

It's a boys club, yes I know girls are soldiers too! But that's the term so roll with it.

Puzzling part is, if he did boxing or martial arts judge would destroy him as he can fight & hurt you get shown no mercy! Why when it's your job is that ok! That puzzles me! OK you serve so slap on the wrists! If anything his punishment should have been court martial and life in prison. I know loads of soldiers and most won't take kindly to this. Some barracks justice may yet happen.

It's just unfortunately not an exceptional sentence, as with Kyle Hayes, it's because of who the person was or who gave them a character reference.

Our criminal sentencing system is simply broken and needs to be rehauled.

Also life imprisonment and barracks justice is an excessive punishment just to compensate for what is too light a sentence.

South Side.

A soldier is entitled by law to have his superior officer give a character reference.

That officer may only legally state what is recorded on his conduct sheet in the previous 12 months. Nothing else, personal opinions, etc, are admissable.

That's the legal side of things, which he used to his advantage.

However, now that the legal niceties are out of the way, the Army, made up of decent men and women has its own system of " justice".

The army officer in court has two roles, to give the court a reference of the soldiers behaviour in the army, and to report back to the army with the court proceedings to allow the army to decide if it needs to take disciplinary action against the soldier, despite the judge's best efforts to keep this filth in the army I'd say he'll be discharged

I just read up on this. I am in shock, angry about it. I suspected that people might be overlooking something, overreacting. Well now I think the opposite. Are people under reacting?

It seems the impact on the lady (and all her life interactions such as loss of work) have not even been taken into consideration by the judge.

While I understand that something has to be taken off for pleading guilty otherwise no one would ever plead guilty...(It sticks in the throat though), suspended sentence... really.

There are some who will play this game in the future now. And, why is no recompense given to the lady?

She has neither justice nor recompense!

I agree, it's a disgrace. Part of the problem is the jails are full, a growing population requires more prison spaces. Judges know the jails are full, maybe it's starting to impact on their decisions.

Hopefully the DPP will appeal the leniency of this decision.

Had the victim dropped to the ground at another angle she could have cracked her skull and died, she is lucky to be alive.

If we solved the issue of male violence in general there wouldn't be any assults on men or women and no cause for concern after the assault. Most of the assaults are carried out by men.

Just the other day a group of men chases a group of queer people out of Phoenix Park. I don't think there has ever been such examples carried out by women ever.

There is a serious issue of male violence that needs to be addressed and not just in Ireland.

Not aggressive behaviour. Violent conduct. Key word being violent. He was convicted of a a violent crime. And recieved a 2 two year jail sentence. Which was suspended.

Looked it up.. all links say Violent conduct. Happy to follow any links you can provide that say otherwise.

The topic is about sentences for violent attacks.

Look up the Statute Book for Public Order offences. There is no such offence as aggressive behaviour. There is threatening and abusive behaviour but that is only using words. There is violent disorder though.

"sorry but Kyle Hayes was convicted on aggressive behavior and not assault there is a massive difference he wasn't convicted of assault because he was not the only person involved in that fight and they couldn't 100 % prove he was the aggressor but the media and social media lead everyone to believe he was the only one fighting

Not aggressive behaviour. Violent conduct. Key word being violent. He was convicted of a a violent crime. And recieved a 2 two year jail sentence. Which was suspended.

Until we start taking violent crime seriously enough that people actually spend time with their freedoms revoked how the fuck are we supposed to except this behaviour to change look it up it was aggressive behavior so stop with bringing others into a conversation which has nothing got to do with the current topic two completely different things

Sorry dude but according to the Irish Times and Limerick Post he was convicted on violent disorder"

Correct. He was part of the gang that assaulted the guy a second time outside the club.

How many against one?

Did he, a high profile Limerick sportsman use his stature and influence to stop the a aggressors? No, he participated and deserves the criminal record he got and more.

The net effect is a culture among certain types of men to act with impunity because they have golden boots or a powerful enough lobby that doesn't want a violent convict on their books.

CC I've never been in a scrap in my life. I know how dangerous it is. One strike can can have life changing consequences.

I've never kicked a man while he was down.

I've never got my mates ganged up on a lad on his own.

I've never used my status and position as a leader and role model to get away with a violent crime.

Fwiw I don't believe that custodial sentences serve the intended purpose in a large amount of cases.

IMO Kyle Hayes should have lost his jersey and been banned from representing the county.

Just like the other criminal above will be thrown out if the army.

I honestly don't know why your defending him but I've nothing else to add to the bun fight.

I'll leave it at that.

if there were cameras around when I was younger we'd all be convinced for violent disorder but thankfully I grew up but I'm not embarrassed to admit it because yes I was young and stupid and d*unk the same as Kyle was that night and the rest of the people involved in that fight on both sides.

Yes, sensible judgment is necessary.

Violence is not a normal part of growing up, or at least it shouldn't be. Group attacks are not OK.

People can (and do) die from one punch. No amount of scrapping/punching is OK.

Omg are you seriously trying to make out that it is or was normal at any stage of someone's life to be getting in fights and kicking the crap out of someone who is on the ground.

That is vile and disgusting thug behaviour that most people didn't do or think was okay no matter what their age is. And anyone using youth as an excuse is taking shite. Because normal people even when young have the decency and cop on to walk away and definitely to know that kicking the shit out of someone who is down on the ground is disgusting. And while you may think it was normal and okay most people even when young would not and it says a lot about the person you were then and are now that you actually stand up for these actions and down play them as normal and acceptable.

And as for the original point of this thread that sentence was a disgrace and the judge should be held accountable for it.

Agreed.

I can't understand a superior officer standing over an animal like him. It makes the superior officer and the Army as a whole look complicit.

I don't understand why they allow character references in any trial

Mickey Hart gave one

Guy in Kerry who attacked a woman got one of the local priest

Trial is based on evidence of something that happened in a short period ...not how great he was six months beforehand

I assume the army will say they couldn't prejudice his dismissal case from the army

But they could refuse to send anything on his behalf instead "

Prisons are full, that's part of the problem. Not enough step down facilities for when they get out. If they can pay compensation to the victim, they are more likely to get suspended sentences, money talks, but €3k to the victim was nothing, should ve been €10 K.

I remember years ago (20+), hearing about a guy who bit part of another guys ear off during a brawl, he was ordered to pay 400 pounds compensation. I think it was pounds, at the time. Seemed v little to me, and I said that and was more or less told by some crotchety old male relatives, to shut the fuck up.

100% we live in a (hopefully) civilised society. It's up to the Gards to arrest (without the need of physical force if possible, especially not excessive force) and for the courts to decide a suitable punishment. It's not a citizens job to be the judge, jury and executioner.

At most a citizen should step in to protect and de-escalate the situation if necessary.

Two wrongs don't make a right. Even if the guy wouldn't take no for an answer and when confronted, he was the one who got physical towards someone, the correct response would be to back away and call the Gards.

I don't know the situation fully. But if you say this guy was the bad guy, then did beating him up have the intended outcome you had hoped? Doesn't look like it.

If this is true, the poor judge has forgotten what he learned in Kings Inns. A soldier who is found guilty( of anything) will get a dishonourable discharge from the army, regardless of what the judge says in court.
