IrelandIreland's parliament, the Dáil, has approved legislation establishing the country's first domestic violence judgments register, named 'Jennie's Law' after Jennifer Poole, a 24-year-old woman murdered by her ex-partner Gavin Murphy in 2021. The bill, which will be signed into law by President Catherine Connolly, requires individuals convicted of domestic violence against partners or former partners to be registered publicly. This register aims to help potential partners assess a person's history of violent offenses. Murphy received a mandatory life sentence for his crime. Poole's family members, including her brother Jason Poole, who has campaigned for the legislation, attended the session. Minister for Justice Jim O’Callaghan emphasized the brutal nature of Poole’s murder, while Fianna Fáil TD Paul McAuliffe highlighted Poole’s positive contributions to her community.
