Domestic violence report shows no convictions

NO ONE in Limerick was convicted of domestic violence in 2002 despite 106 reported incidents, which led to 65 arrests.

This will be confirmed in a report, Draft Strategy Statement on Violence Against Women, which will be presented at this Friday’s monthly meeting of the Mid Western Health Board.

The report also states that 75% of women surveyed stated they were financially deprived while with their partners.
