"An interpreter who provided inaccurate translation services in a trial where a couple were wrongly convicted of the female genital mutilation of their daughter assisted in more than 240 other cases in the Irish courts."
A couple were wrongly convicted of the female genital mutilation of their daughter following inaccurate translation by an interpreter during their trial. The interpreter provided inaccurate translation services that contributed to the wrongful conviction. The same interpreter assisted in more than 240 other cases in the Irish courts. The extent of the interpreter’s involvement across the court system raises concerns about the accuracy of translations in other cases and potential impacts on justice outcomes. The scale of the interpreter’s work suggests the need for review of translated evidence and interpreter accreditation or oversight in Irish courts.
