Gardaí attribute increase in reports to ‘seachange’ in how domestic violence is viewed by society
‘I never remember being held or told I was loved’: Readers share their stories of narcissistic parentsSpeaking outside Frederick Street Garda station on Friday morning, Detective Chief Superintendent Colm Noonan, of the Garda National Protective Services Bureau, said domestic violence is something that “needs to move away from behind closed doors”.
“I really want to encourage victims not to suffer in silence, to talk to us. If you’re not ready to make a prosecution, if you’re not ready to make a statement, you can still talk to us.” “That really is, in our view, symptomatic of the position of trust that is getting better and better between us and society and An Garda Síochána,” he added.
Cristina Santamaria, head of services at Aoibhneas, a charity which provides domestic abuse support for women and children, said domestic abuse is a “societal problem”.
