The family of a murdered woman has set up a petition calling for an “open and transparent” domestic violence register, claiming had there been one in place, their sister may not have died.

Jennifer Poole was 24 when she was murdered by her ex-partner Gavin Murphy at her home in Finglas, west Dublin on April 17, 2021.
