Evil O’Brien - who served just six years in prison for the horrific rape against Fiona - is to be cremated later today following a private funeral.
Rape survivor and campaigner Fiona Doyle has said today she gets her freedom as her evil rapist dad is cremated.
Fiona also said “It’s a good day to be alive and not breathe the same air as you. Good clean air was too good for you.”Fiona also said that despite not being allowed to see him when he died “as much as I tried but people like you are always protected and minded,” she will get to see his coffin go behind the curtains at the crematorium.
Fiona said her father’s words were important to her - and provided a kind of closure she had been seeking. During the campaign of horrific abuse O'Brien waged against his daughter, he would regularly take her to Deansgrange, where he would clean his parents' grave before taking her up to a tree near the plot and raping her.
