A convicted rapist from Guyana, Randi Gladstone, was sentenced to ten years in prison for raping and assaulting an 18-year-old woman in a Dublin holiday complex. Gladstone had only been in Ireland for a few days before the attack. Sinn Féin TD Matt Carthy called for an investigation into how Gladstone, who has 19 previous convictions in the UK, was able to enter Ireland. He emphasized the need for better information sharing regarding individuals with criminal records traveling within the Common Travel Area. Gladstone was arrested after the victim reported the assault. He denied the allegations, claiming the encounter was consensual. The court noted the serious nature of the crime and the impact on the victim and her family.
