Abusers convicted of serious domestic violence will have their names included on a publicly available register for the first time, under a new law designed to allow those with concerns to check whether their partner has a violent past. Minister for Justice Jim O’Callaghan will bring a Bill creating a new domestic violence register to Cabinet this week. The proposed legislation will be known as Jennie’s Law, and the Government plans to have the landmark law enacted before the Dáil summer recess.
