There needs to be  a “sea change” in how women are treated on the island of Ireland through better law and policy, a former justice minister has said.

Naomi Long said there needs to be a zero tolerance approach to abuse, misogyny and the entitlement culture that exists from the locker rooms to the corridors of power in the Republic and Northern Ireland.
