Frances Fitzgerald issues stern warning to domestic abusers

Tánaiste and Minister for Justice Frances Fitzgerald has issued a stern warning to those who “derived false strength” by preying on vulnerable people behind the closed doors of their home.

“These people are very shameful in their cowardice. I certainly don’t want to rest until this is stopped,” she said.

Ms Fitzgerald was speaking at a conference in Dublin hosted by Barnardos to highlight the impact of domestic abuse on children.
