The report also highlights a "sustained and rapid" increase in children reporting concerns.
A new report's found Gardai have failed to arrest some domestic abusers during the lockdown - despite clear evidence of a serious assault.
The Policing Authority says other examples of "poor practice" include the refusal of Gardai to remove the perpetrator from a home until the victim gave a statement.
