Sentences for child sex offenders could be extended to reflect the seriousness of the crime.

Fianna Fáil yesterday put forward a bill that would increase jail time served by sexual offenders from seven to 15 years.

The proposals were introduced in the Dáil yesterday but need cross-party support to become law.

Noeline Blackwell, head of the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre (DRCC) says she fully supports the proposed changes.

She said: “It doesn’t mean that everyone will get 15 years but it says society takes this so seriously that we insist on having one of our most severe penalties."

“The damage that is done in sexually exploiting a child can be lifelong.”

The proposal comes after the leniency of Tom Humpries' prison sentence was heavily criticised. 

Last month, the former Irish Times journalist was jailed for just two-and-a-half years after he was found guilty of sexually abusing a young girl and grooming her two years.

The 54-year-old pleaded guilty to four counts of inviting a child to participate in a sexually explicit, obscene or indecent act between January 2010 and March 2011.

He also pleaded guilty to two counts of defilement of the child between December 5, 2010 and February 19, 2011.

Speaking at the time of sentencing Noeline form the DRCC said:  "We may need to look at sentencing, but certainly just the implementation of sentencing is what's important about this case."

Kim Kardashian has accidentally revealed the gender of her third child.

During an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, the reality star was speaking about the pink-themed baby shower she hosted over the weekend, when she unintentionally let the news slip.

A post shared by Kim Kardashian West (@kimkardashian) on

"People brought toys and gifts and she was opening them all up the next day and she (North) said, ‘Mom, since baby sister’s not here, I think I need all of her toys in my room and I’ll play with them and just make sure they’re all okay for baby sister."

"You just told us it's a girl!" interrupted host Ellen.

Oops.

Meanwhile, Kim has opened up about using a surrogate to carry her third child, admitting that the lack of control has made the process “so much harder” than she originally expected.

Having already given birth to two children with husband Kanye West, the 37-year-old decided to opt for surrogacy after she was advised to not carry any more children for medical reasons.

Kim's difficult pregnancies where well documented on Keeping Up With The Kardashians, and while surrogacy has definitely has helped the star keep her health in check, she admits she's been finding it difficult to adjust.

“You know, it is really different,” she told Entertainment Tonight.

“Anyone that says or thinks it is just the easy way out is just completely wrong. I think it is so much harder to go through it this way, because you are not really in control.”

Baby number three is expected to arrive in January 2018.

The Australian public have voted to legalise same-sex marriage, in a result that paves the way for the country's parliament to formally begin the process of legislating for the union.

The historic postal survey saw 79.5 per cent of Australia's registered voters have their say – making the turnout bigger than both the Brexit referendum and the 2016 US presidential election. Of the 79.5 per cent, 61.6 per cent voted yes.

While the results of the vote are not legally binding, it is widely expected that legislation will be passed by the government before the end of the year, with Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull saying he wants to make the people's wish “the law of the land by Christmas.”

Australia will become the 26th nation to legalise same-sex marriage, in what is a huge step forward for a country where, in some states, homosexuality was illegal until 1997.

Celebrations are well under way down under, with many happy voters taking to Twitter to express an overwhelming sense of joy.

At least five people, including the gunman, are dead after a shooting at an elementary school in the USA.

Among the wounded, at least two are children.

Coy Ferreira, whose daughter attends the school, said to KRCR-TV that he thought he heard a firecracker when he was dropping her off at kindergarten.

He told KRCR-TV that he ran into a classroom with 14 students, one of whom was shot when the gunman shot a round through the window. 

'He's a really strong kid. I didn't know he was shot for a good thirty minutes until I got up to walk to the office in the classroom and I saw he had bloody clothes,” Ferreira said to KRCR-TV.

The incident occurred at Rancho Tehama School in Tehama County, 200km away from San Francisco. The town has a population of about 1,500 people.

The gunman was killed by authorities. 

People in the surrounding area said to the Los Angeles Times that they heard about 100 gunshots. The shooting happened over multiple sites.

'I know that we have airlifted a number of students,' Assistant Sheriff Phil Johnston told KCRA3.

'I know that the school's been cleared. I know that we have children that were attending school in a safe location at this time.'

The area remains on lockdown at this time. 

We will bring you more on this story as we have it.

Ashley Benson has spoken out against the norm of photoshopping celebrities. 

The Pretty Little Liars star told StyleCaster how she took issue with how photoshopped some of the posters and promo materials for the cult teen show were.

'PLL had put up this poster and it was from our first season and it was completely crazy,' she told StyleCaster. 

 

A post shared by Ashley Benson (@ashleybenson) on

'Nobody looked like themselves.'

'They’ll photoshop out a mole, make your boobs bigger or your waist four sizes smaller, and you’re like, 'That’s not even me.'

'You never know how it’s going to turn out because you have no control and you’re not editing the photos, but it sucks when you’re like, 'Wow. That’s a completely different person.'"

She also told the publication how she hopes to inform her fans and followers whenever there is photoshop trickery afoot. 

'I always make sure to tell people, with any sh*t that I do or anyone else does, that unless it’s announced that it’s not photoshopped, it’s photoshopped,' she told the mag.

'And don’t get down on yourself for not looking a certain way because it takes a lot of hair and makeup, a ton of good lighting, and after the shoot, it’s all this editing.'

Kudos to Ashley for reminding us that when it comes to celebrity photo shoots, things probably aren't exactly as they seem.

For months now, Irish shoppers have patiently waited as Victorias' Secret sets up its first fully-stocked Dublin store.

The shop front on Grafton street has been hidden from public view for the best part of a year, and it's safe to say we're all dying to get inside the doors.

While an official date is yet to be confirmed, one blogger has claimed the lingerie store will open for business on December 5 or 6 – just in time for the Christmas rush.

Louise Cooney took to Snapchat to reveal the news after she reportedly received an invite to the big launch.

However, as Victoria's Secret have yet to comment on the launch, we won't be planning any shopping trips just yet.

But hey, this definitely looks promising.

Oh Happy Hardcore, the ony music genre it was cool to listen to back in the 2007-2009 era.

The genre itself was dominated by some key players, namely DJ Rankin, DJ Cammy and Special D – patron saints of sounds your parents dubbed 'chipmunk music' thanks to their fondness for high-pitched, fast paced vocals. 

It was a simpler time, when music tastes were dictated by whatever songs your friends could Bluetooth (or God forbid, Infared) from Motorola flip phone to Sony Erikson brick in the school yard. 

These were the days when holing up in your room in your Foroige hoodie Limewiring songs onto your phone and using 'txt spk' on MSN was a national hobby.

Oh, and don't forget to add Fly on the Wings of Love as your Bebo flash box, lest anyone forget what a full time mad ba***rd you were.

Well dust off your Cantos and whip out the glow sticks, because The Wright Venue is resurrecting some Happy Hardcore legends. 

 If you are a fan of DJ Cammy, DJ Rankin, DJ Badboy and DJ Zitkus, you may want to head to The Wright Venue in Swords on December 1. 

The venue is playing host to some of the 00s most iconic DJs (and to be honest, we kind of had been wondering whatever happened to them).

Tickets currently range from €8.00-12.00, so get in there quick, as this epic nostalgia fest is sure to sell out fast. 

Until them, here's a little anthem to remind you of your youth (DJ Rankin in the mix mother f*****):

When you think Lidl, you most likely think groceries, nifty deals and great prices. 

However, the affordable grocery store's coveted middle aisle recently had a visit from the designing talents of supermodel Heidi Klum, and while her original collection sold out, it's time for a brand new season. 

Heidi Klum's range for Lidl is returning, but this time with a party wear twist. 

The new #LETSCELEBRATE season features a festive smattering of sequins, as well as one of the most elegant and versatile jumpsuits we have seen in quite a while. 

Also in the new line are some staple high heels to see us all the way through the party season. 

Whether glitter adorned or with a faux leather finish, we've never needed less of an excuse to justify purchasing these wardrobe staples. 

'I wanted to create a simple, elegant fashion line that will make us shine over the festive season,' Heidi said. 

Coat €26.99, Sequin blazer €24.99

This sequin blazer has got to be one of the trophy pieces from Heidi's new party collection. 

Teamed with a soft white t-shirt, jeans and heels. this blazer adds the perfect party pop to an otherwise casual NYE outfit. 

As for keeping warm on those nights out, this white faux fur collared coat will keep your outfit under wraps until you reach your party venue, as well as keeping you nice and toasty. 

Jumpsuit €12.99, Sequin dress €19.99

Along with heels and glamorous party wear, the collection also includes some sensible but stylish coats to wrap up in this winter. 

In classic winter shades like black and burgundy, these wear-with-anything coats are top of our wish lists. 

And coming in at around €26.99 each, they're a more affordable alternative to plenty of the classic styles available on the high street.

Coats €26.99 each

'I had so much fun designing the pieces in this collection,' Heidi said previously.

'I’m proud to partner with them on this fashion collaboration,' she added.

'I can't wait for you to see it. I hope you love it as much as I do.'
