A podcast with Fiona Ryan (Solidarity Councillor) and Mary Crilly (Director Sexual Violence Centre) speaking to a rally of majority women and men in support of stopping women's clothing being used as evidence of intent to have sex, and therefore consent. During the spontaneous march I chat to a member of the public, Jessica, who explains why she's there and why this case matters so much to women. Apologies for shouting during this section it was very loud around me! "Does the evidence out rule the possibility that she was attracted to the defendant and was open to meeting someone and being with someone? You have to look at the way she was dressed. She was wearing a thong with a lace front." - Cork Barrister
