Episode Details

Over 40 organisations are calling for a survivor-led advisory council to be set up to inform Government decisions on gender-based violence. A report, being published by the National Observatory on Violence Against Women, outlines a framework for engaging with survivors in a structured and safe way. It comes after new figures, obtained by Aontú, show Garda callouts to incidents of domestic violence rose by over a third between 2021 to 2025. For more on this, Alan Morrissey was joined on Tuesday's Morning Focus by Clare Haven’s Manager of Services Dr Siobhán O’Connor and Rape Crisis MidWest Director, Siobhán O’Leary.
