Natasha O'Brien has said she is determined to "keep pushing and pushing" for changes to the justice system and the judiciaryNatasha O'Brien has said she wouldn’t need to speak out against the justice system if Helen McEntee was doing her job properly.She was in the Dáil's public gallery earlier where Ceann Comhairle Seán Ó Fearghaíl paid tribute to her and Deputies gave her a standing ovation.

"I don't think to waste our anger and our energy on that individual: we need this energy to direct it at the people that can actually change these matters".Ms O'Brien had a message for Justice Minister Helen McEntee and the Taoiseach Simon Harris. "These are the people that are supposed to put me at ease, supposed to make me feel safe and they've made me feel like, 'Wow, our country is not safe at all.'

Addressing the Justice Minister Directly, she said:"Helen McEntee, I would not need to speak out if you were doing your job correctly in the first place"."When something like that happens to you, you would hope that nobody else could understand so it's amazing to have the support – but it's also really disheartening that there is the need for support.
