A couple convicted of carrying out female genital mutilation (FGM) on their one-year-old daughter have their convictions declared a miscarriage of justice. Reports say the husband and wife were found guilty at trial of carrying out an act of FGM on the child, but their convictions were later overturned by the Court of Appeal in 2021. Following the quashing of their convictions, the couple are described as having spent two years in prison. The Irish Times and RTÉ both state that the declaration of miscarriage of justice follows the appellate decision to quash the convictions. TheJournal.ie also reports that the couple’s convictions were overturned by the Court of Appeal in 2021 and that they had served time in custody. The Irish Independent items presented here align with the same outcome, stating that the quashed conviction for the FGM of a child is formally treated as a miscarriage of justice. Across the outlets, the key points are the original conviction for FGM, the 2021 Court of Appeal quashing, the two years the couple spent imprisoned, and the subsequent legal finding that the prosecution outcome should not stand.
