Jennie’s Law: Domestic abusers will now be named publicly with their victim's consent 

Mother of two Jennifer Poole was 24 when she was murdered by her ex-partner Gavin Murphy at her home in Finglas, West Dublin in 2021.

Those convicted of domestic violence will be named publicly, with their victim’s consent, under a new law named in honour of the late Jennifer Poole.

Jennie’s Law will be brought to Cabinet by justice minister Jim O’Callaghan, who is seeking approval for the legislation, which includes the establishment of a domestic violence register.
