Tweets: Louise O'Neill's documentary on sexual consent got the nation tweeting last night

Irish author Louise O’Neill was the talk of Twitter last night as her documentary ’Asking for it’ was aired on RTE 2.

The documentary, named after O’Neill’s 2015 book which discusses sexual consent, looks at the issue in more detail talking to staff at Dublin’s Rape Crisis centre and visiting the Sexual Violence centre in Cork as well as speaking to porn researcher Kate Dawson and Senator Lynn Ruane.

The documentary certainly got the nation thinking about sexual consent and rape culture and there was a lot of praise for the young author and the way she handled the sensitive topic.
