Fionn Daly waived his anonymity at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court last year to allow his mother to be named.
A woman who sexually abused her son from when he was an infant up until the age of 11, in what a judge described as “a huge betrayal of trust” has had her jail sentence reduced by two years at the Court of Appeal.
“One of the hardest things to come to terms with is how young I was when it started. I was still in nappies when it started,” he said. Mr Daly recalled similar incidents took place on days when he was not in school and his father was at work. It is estimated that these incidents took place two or three times a week over 18 months.
Mr Kennedy acknowledged that Hassett was a woman who had committed very grave offences against her son and that this was, as the trial judge had noted, a “very significant betrayal of trust”.“One can’t shy away from that and I don’t,” he said, adding there was no doubt it had a devastating effect on Mr Daly.However, counsel said on the other side of this was a woman who herself has been abused and who had been sexualised from a young age.
After rising for a time, the three judges returned to deliver their judgement in the appeal against the severity of sentence.
