Clare Councillors Call For Domestic Abuse Victims To Have Free Psychological Support

Clare Councillors are calling on the Health Minister to ensure victims of domestic violence have access to free psychological supports when needed.

It comes after a Joint Policing Committee meeting here heard this month that more than 100 domestic incidents were recorded in this county in the first three months of this year.

Currently, perpetrators of gender and sexual violence have access to free counselling over the duration of a sentence.
