The facts paint a picture of a country which has failed badly to protect women. ✍️ JohnKierans2

The horrific murder of Ashling Murphy proved every time they cross the door for a walk, a cycle, a jog they are putting their lives at risk.

Equally, domestic violence is out of control and thousands are living a nightmare being battered and bruised in their homes. In Ireland 87% of the women who had their lives taken from them were killed by someone they knew - a partner or an ex-partner. The remaining 13% were attacked and murdered by strangers. Half of those who died were under 35.However there is no doubt the fear that is out there among women.

The Minister for Justice Helen McEntee wants to bring in zero tolerance to all violence against women and she is right. Each and everyone of us must back her and have our part to play.

McEntee promises 'zero tolerance' and new strategy in the wake of Ashling Murphy's murder | NewstalkJustice Minister Helen McEntee said, “I think what’s different this time [is] I think every person has pictured Ashling as someone they know.” Empty words…why do they always have to wait for something horrible to happen in order for them to wake up!!!! Promises from FineGael . A committee will be established, come back with a report, then a working group to analyse the recommendations. Then their report goes back to the committee before finally having a citizens assembly. But beat a girl so she could lose her eye and get bail for 200 euro. Zero tolerance me arse.
