BARONESS Casey's report sets out a series of recommendations, which the government has accepted in full.
1.
Strengthen the law
: Tighten the law so that any adult who has sex with a child under the age of 16 is automatically charged with rape, removing current legal grey areas that allow abusers to avoid proper punishment.
2.
Address Historical Failings
: Through a national inquiry pursue justice for past cases and hold accountable those who failed to act.
3.
Enhance Intelligence Gathering
: Improve the collection and analysis of information to combat exploitation more effectively.
4.
Improve Inter-Agency Collaboration
: Foster stronger cooperation and information-sharing among agencies.
5.
Mandatory Reporting
: Require all services to share information when a child is at risk.
6.
Introduce Unique Child Identifiers
: Implement a system to ensure children are consistently and accurately identified across services.
7.
Modernise Police Systems
: Upgrade technology to enable seamless communication and prevent missed opportunities.
8.
Treat Grooming Gangs as Serious Organised Crime
: Employ the same robust strategies used to combat other forms of organised criminal activity.
9.
Investigate Declining Reports
: The Department for Education must examine why reports of child abuse are decreasing and take corrective action.
10.
Understand the Underlying Drivers
: Conduct in-depth research into the factors underpinning grooming gangs, including cultural and online influences.
11.
Regulate the Taxi Industry
: Prevent exploitation by restricting the use of 'out-of-area' taxi drivers.
12.
Commit Government Resources
: Ministers must allocate funding and ensure measurable progress is achieved.

Three men arrested and €1.2m in cash seized in Dublin as part of probe into organised crime group
Gardai stopped and searched a car in the Donnybrook area on Thursday. The cash seized by gardai during a car search Three men have been arrested and 1.2 million euro in cash seized as part of an investigation into an organised crime group. Gardai stopped and searched a car in the Donnybrook area on Thursday. During the search, they found 197,760 euro in cash and a man aged in his 50s was arrested. In a follow-up operation on the same day, two other men, one aged in his 30s and one his 40s, were arrested. During searches of a number of properties in south Dublin, Gardai seized an additional 1,086,175 euro in cash. The cash seized by gardai during a car search News in 90 Seconds - Aug 9th The total amount of cash seized was 1,283,935 euro. The three arrested men are expected to appear before the Criminal Courts of Justice on Saturday. The arrests were made in connection with an operation targeting an organised crime group involved in the sale and supply of drugs and money laundering in the Dublin area. Assistant Commissioner Cliona Richardson said: 'This significant seizure of cash will impact the ability of those involved to cause harm in our communities. 'It not only removes ill-gotten gains from the hands of criminals, but also deprives them of money they would have used to fund further criminal activities. 'The DCRT (Dublin Crime Response Team) is committed to keeping our communities safe by continuing to target the proceeds of criminal conduct, with a view to seizing assets and initiating prosecutions in relation to persons engaged in money laundering and associated criminal activity.'

Ex-IRA man flees US after 40 years over deportation fears
'There is nothing to stop them from deporting me to Ecuador, South Sudan, or whatever' A former IRA member who had been living in the US for 40 years has 'self-deported' back to Ireland over fears that he might be picked up by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Derry man Matthew Morrison whose previous deportation proceedings were terminated during the Clinton administration, took a one-way flight back to Dublin in July. 'I would bite the dust in an ICE holding cell,' the 69-year-old told The Marshall Project - St Louis before he left the US. 'There is nothing to stop them from deporting me to Ecuador, South Sudan, or whatever. Morrison with his American wife Sandra Riley Swift News in 90 Seconds - Aug 8th "It's really gotten insane here. It's crazy what they are doing now, the Trump administration. You know what I mean?' According to Irish Central, Morrison, who is from the Brandywell in Derry, was 16 years old when he marched in the civil rights demonstration on Bloody Sunday in 1970. Morrison described how Bloody Sunday when British soldiers opened fire on unarmed civilians, killing 13 people, was a "watershed moment of great significance" which has played a part in him join the Irish Republican Army. As a student at the New University of Ulster in 1975, he and two other students were arrested, charged, and convicted in a British non-jury court of the attempted murder of an RUC man. He served ten years of 20 year prison sentence in Long Kesh, where he was one of the highest-ranking members of the IRA. While in prison he corresponded with American woman Francie Broderick and when he was released in 1985 they married a week later. After having two children together they were divorced, and Morrison later remarried to another American woman, Sandra Riley Swift. He remained based in Missouri, where he worked as a nurse for the next 20 years. Morrison who wrote in in 1993 how he no longer had any connection with the armed struggle in Ireland, added that should he and his family be forced to return, they would face "significant danger." In the summer of 2000, Morrison was among the six Irish nationals who had their deportation proceedings terminated by US Attorney General Janet Reno in the wake of the Good Friday Accord. . The move was welcomed by then-US President Bill Clinton, who said: "While in no way approving or condoning their past criminal acts, I believe that removing the threat of deportation for these individuals will contribute to the peace process in Northern Ireland." However, he was not permitted to apply for a green card or US citizenship, and in June attended a scheduled check-in with US Citizenship and Immigration Services in St Louis. After stories emerged of immigrants being arrested at such check-ins, Morrison's son Matt (37) told The Marshall Project: 'We were terrified that they were just going to take him right there. Matt added: 'He has to live under that fear of somebody knocking on the door and dragging him out of the house, just like they did in Derry when he was young. 'I hate it. I am just worried about him. Until recently, I hadn't heard him cry about it.' At the appointment, Morrison was photographed and was free to go but with his work authorisation set to expire in October, he boarded a one-way flight from Cleveland to Dublin on July 21, with his wife. Leaving behind his grown children, his grandchildren, and the life he had built in the US, he told The Marshall Project: 'I've come full circle. 'I came here as an immigrant, and I am leaving as an immigrant, despite everything in between. "The whole thing is a crazy, stressful situation.'
