O'Neill and Little-Pengelly will jointly address violence against women, following recent murders and a conviction, aiming to advance a strategic plan involving youth and justice reforms.
- On Tuesday, Deputy First Minister Emma Little-Pengelly and First Minister Michelle O'Neill addressed media separately at Parliament Buildings in Belfast following Stephen McCullagh's conviction for murdering Natalie McNally.
- O'Neill told reporters at Stormont that "enough is enough" while noting 30 women have been killed in the region over six years, underscoring the scale of violence affecting families.
- Recent investigations include the death of Amy Doherty in Londonderry and the murder of Ellie Flanagan in Fermanagh, while the McNallys attended every day of McCullagh's trial.
- O'Neill insisted "all of our shoulders are to the wheel" ahead of an event with 600 young people, as the government plans to bring the next stage of its strategy to the Executive.
- Long noted the region remains a "patriarchal society" with "a lot of sexism, chauvinism and misogyny," referencing the "shameful history" of the Magdalen laundries as evidence of long-term work required.
