Gardaí have stated that the number of domestic abuse calls during the lockdown have increased by 20%.
Gardaí believe that the increase is due to the fact that people in abusive relationships/families are confined to their homes.
If you are involved in such a situation and are seeking help, please contact gardaí at 999 or 112.
