There must be "zero tolerance" of violence against women following the murder of Ashling Murphy, Justice Minister Helen McEntee has said.

Urging anyone with information on the killing to contact the gardaí, Ms McEntee said the wider issue of violence against women, including sexual and domestic abuse, must be tackled.
