A woman who was raped and sexually abused by her father for 11-and-a-half years said victims of abuse should not be made to feel “shame” when they sue their attacker.

Patrick Honan (69), from County Clare, was found guilty of 48 counts, including 25 counts of rape and 23 counts of sexual assault, at a trial at the Central Criminal Court in February. He was sentenced to 13 years in prison, with the final 18 months suspended.
