Taoiseach Micheal Martin promises more will be done to tackle domestic violence

Taoiseach Micheal Martin has said more will be done to tackle those fleeing domestic violence as just 17 counties in the Republic of Ireland have refuge centres.

It comes as calls to domestic violence charities have remained consistently high throughout 2021.

The Taoiseach has pledged to provide more funding to help victims, but said that the Government “also need to do more than that”.
