Justice minister promises domestic violence register following report on record abuse complaints

Jim O'Callaghan told the Dáil the 'epidemic' of domestic violence 'will only be resolved if the vast majority of men recognise the need for them to do work to emphasise its unacceptability'.

The Justice minister has promised to roll out a domestic violence register following the latest Women's Aid annual report which reveals the highest number of complaints in 50 years.

Jim O'Callaghan told the Dáil the "epidemic" of domestic violence "will only be resolved if the vast majority of men recognise the need for them to do work to emphasise its unacceptability".
