Rape Crisis Network Ireland Policy paper, Dec 2006 It is a mistake to remove currently existing levels of child protection by lowering the Age of Consent. The legal Age of Consent is being made the scapegoat for an absence of policy, action, resources and legislation which would address a number of the contributing factors to sexual abuse in our society. The committee recommends this action to the government, undermining protections children currently enjoy, under no particular public pressure to do so, under no domestic or international obligation to do so and for no sound moral or public health reasons. Essentially there is only one question the committee must answer if members of the committee are to continue to support this recommendation. What benefit can we gain from lowering the age of consent? Let us be clear, by benefit we mean a social good or an improvement in what rights and protections we currently enjoy. We need to know the answer to this question, particularly on behalf of 16 year old girls and boys who would be stripped of current State support and protection. Why have an age of consent at all? Young people, but particularly girls, talk to us all the time about the unwelcome pressure they are under to engage in sexual activity before they are ready. -

Great War. All the stops were pulled out to glorify it and make us forget what it was. A fashionable theory about nations, advocated by Professor Comerford of Maynooth amongst many, is that they are "invented" by forgetfulness of their actual past and This was the first budget in more than mythical remembrance of a past that never was. Whatever about nations, that is certainly 20 years that was prepared in the context of recession and rapidly deteriorating .the way that the Great War is having greatness restored to it. At the end of the Great war the nationalist Irish responded to their experience of it by public finances. GNP will contract by 1% voting to have done with the Empire that launched it. In the mostly keenly contested next year. The budget itself and the manner election held in Ireland for a generation, in December 1918, the electorate brushed aside in which the political reaction was dealt the one party system established by John Redmond's movement by Tammany Hall with indicate that the Government is in a methods, and returned the Sinn Fein party. -
