Episode Details

The Government is set to bring forward Jennie’s Law this week, legislation that would establish a public register of people convicted of serious domestic violence offences. Named in memory of Jennifer Poole, the law is designed to help people make safer decisions in relationships by allowing access to information about past convictions. However, it also raises important questions around privacy, victim safety, and how effectively such measures can prevent domestic abuse. To discuss the potential impact of the proposed legislation, Alan Morrissey joined by Siobhán O’Connor, Director of Services with Clare Haven. Photo (c) Collins via The Irish Independent
