Minister for Justice Jim O’Callaghan will bring Jennie’s Law to Cabinet this week to begin its passage through the Oireachtas for enactment.

The Domestic Violence (Judgements) Register Bill will result in those convicted of domestic violence against a partner or former partner being included on a public register.

The register will assist people in a relationship or considering a relationship with a person to ascertain whether they have a history of serious domestic violence convictions

The law has been named in honour of Jennifer Poole, who was murdered by her ex-partner Gavin Murphy in 2021.

He attacked and stabbed her to death at her home Melville Drive in Finglas on 17 April and was sentenced to life in prison the following year.

Domestic abuse impacts every aspect of a child’s life, including their health, wellbeing, and development from conception through to adulthood. Children are not mere bystanders, they experience violence and abuse first hand.

We must continue to advocate for children and young people because every child deserves safety and a life free from fear.

We always say that it's the people who make our service what it is and we are so lucky to be so well supported by people in our local community. Our volunteers play a hugely important role in supporting our work.

To mark National Volunteering Week, we held a breakfast for our volunteer gardeners who keep the grounds of our admin building immaculate and make it a relaxing, welcoming environment for our staff and clients. We had an afternoon tea later in the day for our counsellors and court volunteers who provide vital support to the women who use our service. We are so fortunate to have them. It was a lovely day of celebration, reflection and recognition for all the wonderful ways our volunteers contribute to our service.

We thank you all.

It was a lovely event to be part of and it was wonderful to meet so many talented, capable and inspiring young women.
