We recommend:
• A trauma-informed service.
• Better identification and management of risk to victims.
• A more proactive approach to disrupting and managing offenders.
• Scrutiny of arrests, detections and court outcomes.

3/7 We found:
• The Garda Síochána is committed to supporting and protecting victims
• Many personnel are delivering a high-quality service, but this was not consistent
• The Garda Síochána has taken steps to improve how it deals with domestic abuse, but needs to do more
