The Hard Shoulder
The Dublin Rape Crisis Centre has taken down three online video ads related to its 'We Consent' campaign, following criticism of one ad in particular.
The ad shows grandparents going to give their teenage granddaughter a hug, but before they do, the ad stops to say "Not everyone wants a hug".
It has received significant backlash, with many saying it is offensive to our older population.
Joining Seán Defoe and Ciara to discuss this is Catherine Ardagh, Fianna Fáil TD and Minister of State at the Department of Justice, Home Affairs and Migration and Fine Gael Senator Gareth Scahill.
