This Saturday marks International Women's Day and hundreds of women will take to the streets of the capital. One of the women speaking at the march is Paula Doyle who will be joined by her 4 children.

Paula was raped by Aiden Kestell in September 2019 after he walked her home from a party in his house. Mr Kestell was found guilty in 2024 of raping Paula and sentenced jailed for seven-and-a-half years. Since waving her anonymity, Paula has spoken out against the use of counselling notes in cases of sexual assault and advocated for the rights of survivors.

Paula joined Pat in studio this morning.
