Child victims in homicide cases can now be named publicly, as a new law takes effect from today.
Grieving parents whose children were killed in violent crimes had been prevented from speaking publicly about them, but an amendment to the Children s Act has resulted in this ban being lifted.
Kathleen Chada, whose sons Eoghan and Ruairi were murdered by their father in 2013, joined us to talk about the difference this amendment will make to parents in her position.
We were also joined by Conor Hanly, lecturer in law at NUI Galway.

Former footballer Ian Wright expressed disappointment yesterday as a Kerry teenager who sent him racially abusive messages escaped a criminal conviction.
The solicitor of 18-year-old Patrick O Brien revealed that his client had voluntarily made a €500 donation from his pocket money to the Irish Network Against Racism organisation.
He also described him as a good young man who was getting on extremely well as a student at IT Tralee .
But should character references play a part in legal proceedings?
Today FM courts correspondent Frank Greaney, Conor Hanly, Lecturer in Law at NUI Galway, and Noeline Blackwell, CEO of the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre, joined us to give their views on the issue.
