In Europe, Ireland ranks 17th out of 24 countries for femicide. The number of women have been killed in Ireland so far this year is more than the entirety of 2025. Jamey Casey, killed in Killarney this week marked the eighth woman to die in violent circumstances. In 2025, seven women died violently in the Republic of Ireland. Since 1996, 286 women have been killed. Women's Aid Ireland updated their femicide watch data twice this week, something that CEO Sarah Benson says is unthinkable.
