Dublin domestic abuse survivor calls on gardai to 'do more' to protect victims

A Dublin woman who set up a domestic abuse support group has said that there is "still not enough being done" to help domestic violence victims as many gardai stations mark Go Purple Day.

Ashtown woman Priscilla Grainger and her daughter Ainie are the founders of Stop Domestic Abuse in Ireland, which they set up in 2014 after suffering years of abuse themselves. They now run the support group to help others in similar situations.

Today is Go Purple Day, an initiative set up by An Garda Siochana to help raise awareness about domestic abuse and to show people that there is help available through support services, with events like coffee mornings and information stands, and garda buildings lighting up purple.
