Jonathan Moran was jailed for eight years yesterday for the rape.
The Tánaiste is praising Mullingar's Blathnaid Raleigh for speaking out after her rapist was jailed for eight years.
26-year-old Jonathan, aka Johnny, Moran, of Tower View, Mullingar, was sentenced yesterday for the rape in 2019.
Ms. Raleigh said she was 'handing the shame' back to him during a statement at a previous hearing.
Tánaiste Micheál Martin says her response was courageous:
During the case, Justice Tony Hunt spoke about the importance of the concept of consent.
