An interagency meeting between An Garda Síochána, West Cork Beacon, Foróige and Tusla focused on strengthening the response to domestic violence was held at Bandon Garda Station recently, bringing together relevant stakeholders from across Cork County.

The meeting provided an opportunity for agencies to reinforce their shared commitment to delivering a collaborative, victim-focused and effective response to all victims of domestic violence. Through open discussion, participants reviewed existing procedures, shared perspectives and explored opportunities to further strengthen interagency cooperation.

The forum also encouraged the exchange of ideas on new initiatives aimed at enhancing support for victims and ensuring a coordinated approach across all partner organisations.
