Today we remember the life and legacy of Ashling Murphy. It is hard to believe that a year has passed since her tragic passing.
My thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends at this very difficult time.
This is a case that rocked many of us to our cores and continues to have an impact. Her legacy must be one of change and action.
