A nationwide call to arms to tackle all forms of sexual harassment and assault at night time is being proposed by Helen McEntee, the justice minister.

All pubs, clubs, and other night-time venues are to be asked to sign up to new measures requiring them to train staff and to bar people for both microaggressions and more serious acts of sexual violence.
