Offaly Domestic Violence Support Service is supporting MEP Cynthia Ní Mhurchú's suggestion.
The CEO of an Offaly domestic violence support service feels more specialised judges on the matter are needed in the court system.
She's backing a suggestion made by MEP Cynthia Ní Mhurchú after figures show the number of people imprisoned for breaching a domestic violence order are up by 69% since 2020.
Other reform measures suggested by her include a shelter in every county and a review of how sentences are issued.
CEO of ODVSS Anne Clarke says it will facilitate a stronger judgement:
