Why won’t Natasha O’Brien see justice after her assault?

'Two to put her down, two to put her out', those are the boasts on social media from Cathal Crotty after an unprovoked attack on Natasha O’Brien, which left her unconscious. Crotty has since walked free from court after being given a fully suspended sentence. Speaking outside Limerick circuit criminal court yesterday, Natasha said ‘This is not justice’. Joining Andrea to discuss are the victim, Natasha O’Brien, Noeline Blackwell, Women’s Rights and Human Rights lawyer and survivor of a violent attack, Ruth Maxwell.
