A 43-year-old west Clare man has escaped jail over his possession of a "disgusting" book which was the first book to be banned here by the censors in almost two decades.

At Ennis Circuit Court, Judge Gerald Keys said that a €500 fine and the placing of Clifford Murrihy on the Sex Offenders register were sufficient sanctions to meet the case.
Judge Keys said that the placing of Mr Murrihy on the Sex Offenders register "is a punishment in itself for what is a victimless crime".
The Judge said that he took into account that the written material in the book entitled ‘The Raped Little Runaway’ is not a direct product of child abuse.
He also said that he regarded this particular offence of child porn possession at the lower end of the spectrum.
In evidence, Detective Garda Donal Corkery told the court that the first 77 pages of the banned book contained five separate incidents that were sexually explicit in content and depicted sexual acts carried out on a 14-year-old girl.
Mr Murrihy of Crovroghan, Kildysart, Co. Clare, pleaded guilty to the possession of child pornography ‘The Raped Little Runaway’ by Jean Martin in November 2015 - four months before the book was banned by the censors here as a result of the Gardaí sending on the book.
The book was the first book to be banned here in nearly two decades by the Censorship of Publications Board (CBB) in March 2016. -
