Last week an online vigil was held to remember Ashling Murphy, recently murdered by a man. However, this vigil was disrupted in the most disgusting way. I talk to three of the women involved in this vigil- Christine O'Mahony, Rosemarie Maughan, and Evie Nevin who share their experiences. This is an upsetting conversation so there are trigger warnings for sexual violence and gender based violence.
