Is there a need for a Minister designated to address violence against women

Gardaí investigating the murder of Ashling Murphy are set to cross-check DNA samples taken from the crime scene and a mountain bike found close by with those taken from a man being treated in hospital in Dublin for a number of injuries. Justice Minister Helen McEntee has said a new national strategy to tackle domestic, sexual, and gender-based violence in the wake of the murder of Ashling Murphy will be introduced in the coming weeks, with the intention of adopting a zero-tolerance policy for violence against women. In reaction to this, we were joined on the show by Orla O’Connor Director of the National Women’s Council. Listen and subscribe to Newstalk Breakfast on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
