Overview

• The Minister for Justice will bring the proposal to Cabinet on Tuesday for approval.
• The Courts Service would publish eligible convictions online under the heading "Domestic Violence Register Judgments."
• Names would be listed only with the victim's consent, and entries would be presented alongside links to support services.
• Trial judges would decide what case details to publish, including conviction and sentence information.
• The plan is named for Jennifer Poole, whose 2021 murder spurred a family campaign after she did not know her ex-partner had a prior conviction.
