“The system – so many systems – need to be gutted to create the society that we all so desire and deserve. But we are making a genuine start and I do feel like we are starting to turn a new page,” she said. Ms O’Brien, who had received a standing ovation inside the Dáil chamber earlier on Tuesday, was given a rousing welcome by hundreds of protesters gathered outside its gates.

“And obviously it’s resonating with the ordinary person on the street and I suppose it creates a fear among people that people aren’t safe.” Natasha O’Brien and Ruth Coppinger at the protest outside the Dáil on Tuesday. Photograph:Alan Betson
