Anyone convicted of domestic violence charges will be placed on a new garda register under measures contained in a €363m zero-tolerance strategy on domestic, sexual, and gender-based violence.

Justice Minister Helen McEntee has met twice with garda commissioner Drew Harris to discuss the rollout of the new domestic violence register.
