New Garda Pulse figures show a significant jump in domestic, sexual, and gender-based violence calls in the Kildare-Carlow division.
There are plans to introduce a domestic violence register which would see offenders named on a publicly available list.
The proposed law is named after 24-year-old Jennifer Poole from Dublin, who was murdered by her ex-partner Gavin Murphy in 2021.
The 33-year-old had served time in prison for attacking a former girlfriend, and lied to Jennifer during their relationship saying he was living in Spain during the time he was in jail.
He brother Jason, who spoke at length to Kfm last year, says it's bittersweet to see Jennie's Law becoming a reality.
New Garda Pulse figures show a significant jump in domestic, sexual, and gender-based violence calls in the Kildare-Carlow division.
3,185 calls were logged in 2022.
3,424 in 2023.
And 4,166 last year – an increase of more than 30 percent in two years.
The figures cover all emergency calls linked to domestic violence or abuse - including breaches of barring orders, safety, protection and emergency barring orders, incidents of coercive control, and cases flagged with a domestic abuse motive.
They also count calls where Gardaí responded to a domestic incident but no offence was ultimately recorded.
All figures are based on operational data taken from PULSE on the 27/08/2025.
