The brother of Jennifer Poole, who was killed by her former partner in 2021, is meeting with the Justice Minister to discuss progress on a domestic violence register. Jennifer's brother, Jason, has been campaigning for the register, known as 'Jennie's Law,' since her death. He believes it would have saved his sister's life as she was unaware of her ex-partner's history of violence.
The brother of Jennifer Poole, who was killed by her former partner, is to meet with Justice Minister Jim O’Callaghan to discuss progress for a domestic violence register.
Jason has been calling on the Government for a number of measures under ‘Jennie’s Law’ to be implemented to help stop the violence against women. However, Jason wants all the relevant bodies to be brought together to listen more attentively as he wants all domestic violence issues - and not just coercive control - to be included on the register which he says needs to be a legislative piece.
In a response to a question from Deputy Cian O’Callaghan who asked An Tanaiste Simon Harris why the creation of a domestic violence register is not a priority for the Government, An Tanaiste said: “I do know that the Minister for Justice is very committed to addressing this very important issue and ensuring there are effective measures in place so the Garda can issue confidential warnings to persons who may be a risk in an intimate relationship.
