It was soon a case on everyones minds, both in Ireland and much further afield. Every case is horrific, but certain cases leave a lasting and profound impact in huge ways... in ways we have not experienced before. And in the words of the Taoiseach Leo Varadkar, the case of 23 year old Ashling Murphy has “united the nation in solidarity and revulsion”.
