Mary Lou McDonald commenting on the
murder of 23 year old innocent school teacher Ashling Murphy:
“My thoughts are with Ashling's family, her friends, her pupils and colleagues at school and the whole community in Tullamore who are facing unimaginable heartbreak. The entire country is reeling from this horrendous attack which has seen a woman’s life cut short.
“
Violence against women and girls, and the fear of it, is far too common and blights the lives of women and girls across the country. Harassment is the norm, not the exception. We have the right to be safe on our streets and in our homes. Yet too often, we are not."
A laudable soundbite.
Ann Travers, whose sister,
an innocent 22 year old school teacher named Mary Travers was murdered by the military wing of the party led by Mary Lou McDonald, criticised McDonald four weeks ago for rejecting calls for Gerry Adams "comedy sketch" video to be withdrawn.
