We speak to Orla O'Connor, director of the National Women's Council of Ireland, about what more can be done to make Ireland a safer place for women - should we look to education in schools, how the courts operate, or does it require an even more systematic change?We examine how difficult it is to compare Ireland to other countries in terms of the actual level of safety, how online abuse has increased recently, the need for more domestic abuse refuges, and how, ultimately, there is no quick fix.The Explainer is brought to you by The Journal.
