This morning everyone is reacting to the horrific attempted beheading in Belfast.
But last week in Galway a young Iranian mother of two, Masuma Sohrabi, was murdered and almost beheaded.
There is no viral video of this brutal attack.
She was living in State care.
Her body was thrown over a bridge.
Murdered by her ex-partner.
The had been living in an IPAS centre together.
She had previously secured a court protection order against him. He was moved only a few miles away.
Only a week later, her story is all but forgotten.
In 2012, Savita Halappanavar, died in State care while giving birth in Galway.
Her death lead to the one of the biggest political movements in Irish history, after an enormous campaign of outcry from, media & NGOs.
My question is:
Where is the national outcry for Masuma Sohrabi??
Where are the NGO's demanding an overhaul of IPAS?
Where is the media demanding answers?
The sad truth is her death doesn’t fit any convenient political narrative for the NGO/media complex.
As some journalist in the Irish Times might say,
her murder "isn't being helpful".
