local summary8 public source leads5 related reports

A 47-year-old man from County Mayo, convicted of multiple sexual offences against his daughter, has been granted an early appeal hearing date by the Court of Appeal. In February, he was found guilty of three counts of rape, five counts of anal rape, and six counts of sexual assault committed between 2006 and 2010 when the victim was aged seven to eleven. Justice Deirdre Murphy imposed a sentence of fifteen years imprisonment with the final year suspended. The man has maintained his innocence and lodged an appeal against conviction. An application for bail pending appeal was considered, with the court fixing an early hearing date for the second of November. A separate gardaí investigation is ongoing into allegations that the victim made statements contradicting her trial evidence. The man's identity is protected to safeguard the victim's anonymity.
