An Offaly domestic violence centre has seen a massive jump in people getting in contact.
More people approached Offaly Domestic Violence Support Services in the first quarter of this year, than in the first half of 2018.
Manager Anne Clarke is encouraging men and women who are suffering from abuse to speak up.
She says global campaigns have impacted numbers using their service in Tullamore:
