Willie O'Dea (FF), Limerick City

I wish to return briefly to the situation in Limerick, which has already been adverted to. I know the Taoiseach has already dealt with it but I have three specific questions. Is the Government contemplating any legislative change in light of what happened? When can we expect the updated sentencing guidelines from the Judicial Council? We have been waiting for years. Does the Taoiseach agree that it is utterly inappropriate that a person capable of such actions should continue as a serving member of the Irish Defence Forces?
