Ms. Ciara Mangan, 30, expressed relief and renewed hope as she received confirmation of justice after her assailant, Shane Noonan, was denied an appeal against a seven-year prison sentence for a violent rape that occurred when she was 18. The denial of appeal marks a pivotal moment in her healing journey, which she felt had been overshadowed by uncertainties in the justice system over the past 22 months. Mangan expressed that finally receiving justice allows her healing process to truly commence.
"Two years ago, I thought that I got my justice, and the justice system put a question mark over that for the last 22 months. So, today, I got justice."
"After my attacker was refused an appeal against a seven-year sentence, I feel that my healing is going to begin now."
