Australia is still reeling from the country's worst mass shooting in almost three decades. A father and son opened fire on a Jewish festival at Bondi Beach, killing 15 people including a child.

The alleged attackers fired into crowds at the beach for the start of Hanukkah on Sunday evening.

The father was killed at the scene, taking the number of dead to 16, while his 24-year-old son is in a critical condition in hospital, but police say he is expected to survive.

But, what happens now?

Ria Czerniak-LeBov is the granddaughter of a Holocaust escapee, living here in Ireland, and joins Ciara to discuss.
