Our sentencing in Ireland is not limited by human rights laws. We could increase our sentences significantly and still not run foul of those laws.
No matter how many times you repeat it, it won't make it true.
Oh if only. But there seems to be a pattern of reduction of sentences and suspension of much if not all of the sentence by some judges.
If someone who has committed a serious crime, the evidence against them gathered, they're arrested, put through the court system, found guilty, only for the judge to give non-custodial sentence, then many people unsurprisingly wonder what's the point of it all.
