Women's Aid new Annual Impact Report shows 34,000 disclosures of abuse were made in 2021.
The nature of abuse reported to domestic violence charities during the pandemic is being described as "alarming".
Women's Aid new Annual Impact Report shows 34,000 disclosures of abuse were made in 2021 - but Anne Clarke from Offaly Domestic Violence Support Service says that figure could treble if calls made to all 38 services in Ireland are added.
Reports of child abuse also made up almost 6,000 of the calls to Women's Aid.
Ms. Clarke says there was a notable difference in the nature of calls:
Major Film Production Underway In Offaly
Offaly Athletics Club Pushing To Raise €400k For New Olympic Sized Track
Offaly Community Hopeful Of Town Hall Reopening By 2030
Hospital Parking Charges Rise By Over €10m
