Just something that annoyed me this morning while cycling to work listening to NewsTalk 106 and I have to get it out! 
Fiona Neary, executive director of the Rape Crisis Network Ireland was being interviewed in relation to the statutory rape case where a Donegal teenager (15 year old) is being charged with raping a 14 year old girl. The Donegal lad is claiming discrimination because of his gender, in that it was consensual sex and he wonders why the girl is not also being charged.
Granted, it wasn’t fair to be asked about an individual case in her interview, when put to her if she thought it was fair for the law to discriminate by gender in the case of statutory rape, she simply sat on the fence and avoided answering the question.
Now don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t expecting her to agree or disagree with it, but to blatantly ignore the question just annoys me. Surely we should expect someone in this role to have some sort of opinion on the law. Surely she either disagrees or agrees that there is something not right with the current law.
Just my two cents anyway!
