Nearly 19,500 cases of domestic abuse reported to gardai so far this year
Nearly 19,500 domestic abuse incidents have been reported to gardai so far this year, shocking new figures have revealed. Of these, one-third of the incidents were reported in Dublin. However, Justice Minister Jim O'Callaghan also warned that this is not the full picture of domestic and gender-based violence incidents and gardai will provide more comprehensive data soon. Labour's Marie Sherlock said gardai must ensure there are enough supports in place to support people who have been brave enough to contact them in the first instance. She asked Justice Minister Jim O'Callaghan to confirm the number of reported domestic and sexual-based violence incidents so far this year in each garda district. The data provided included cases that had been logged on the Garda Pulse system as Breach of a Barring Order and Breach of an Emergency Barring Order'. It also included any incident type that was recorded as having a 'domestic abuse' motive. Between the start of the year and May 27, 19,417 cases were reported. Of those, 6,267 incidents were reported in the six Dublin Garda districts (33%). The largest number of reports was in the Northern district of the Dublin Metropolitan Region, where 1,552 people reported domestic abuse. And 1,329 incidents were reported in the Louth/Cavan/Monaghan area, 1,283 in Wexford/Wicklow, and 1,196 in Kildare/Carlow. The lowest number of reports was in Sligo/Leitrim, where there were still 335 reports. Minister O'Callaghan warned Ms Sherlock this was not the 'full breadth of incidents that could be regarded as domestic and sexual based violence'. He said: 'An Garda Siochana and my Department are continuing to work hard to strengthen trust and confidence in the system, so that victims will feel confident to report what has happened to them and get justice. 'The nationwide rollout of Divisional Protective Service Units has ensured that when victims of crimes such as domestic abuse and sexual violence present to gardai, they are met with a consistently high standard of specialist assistance. 'This is not reflective of the full breadth of incidents that could be regarded as domestic and sexual based violence.' Ms Sherlock told the Irish Sunday Mirror that gardai must ensure there is enough support in place for victims and survivors of domestic abuse. She said: 'When you look at certain parts of Dublin, there's certainly a frightening level being reported. 'It requires a huge amount of very sensitive and delicate policing because you're dealing with a complicated set of factors.'

Lara Pulver on Fiddler on the Roof: 'this show is always heartbreakingly relevant'
Pulver immediately strikes you as very alive, if that's not a silly thing to say, but it's just the way her eyes take up most of the room as she seeks to accommodate you - 'I'm a Jewish mother, a feeder, you can't come to my house without someone trying to put food in your mouth,' she'll say later - and how you can just imagine how she grabbed the attention back in that village hall, and has continued to do throughout her stellar career on stage - Olivier award-winning for Gypsy in 2016 - and starring in nation TV treasures like Spooks and Sherlock.

Cork selector doesn't mince words while challenging Rebels to rise to occasion in Munster final rematch vs Limerick
WAYNE Sherlock knows Cork must prevail in the hunger games when they face Limerick in the second instalment of a potential trilogy. The Treaty, who 2 Cork lost 3-26 to 1-16 last time out against Limerick 2 Wayne Sherlock is hoping they can end Limerick's reign of dominance It may not be the last they see of each other either, as both sides will then turn their attention to making it to Croke Park for All-Ireland final day. Since Cork's most recent Cork selector Sherlock said: 'We have no All-Irelands, they have five. They're going for seven Munsters, a lot of our fellas have none. 'Realistically, how can they be hungrier than us? It can't be possible. Read more on GAA 'We're going up to play them on their home patch. 'They're probably going to go down as one of the greatest teams ever to play the game. 'If you're not at it for this, you probably shouldn't go up there. But one thing we can guarantee the Cork fans is that we'll definitely be better than the last day.' Given that there had been no more than a puck of a ball between the teams in their five previous meetings, another close encounter was anticipated in last month's round-robin showdown. Most read in GAA Hurling But Sherlock admits that Cork's 'attitude could have been better' as they were trounced by a Limerick outfit who had an axe to grind with the team who condemned them to two Championship losses in 2024. The 1999 All-Star defender said: 'We just knew we can't be off the pace. Tipperary GAA star 'had to do live apology on RTE' the day after cursing during All-Ireland interview - "We're a 100 per cent team. If we take our foot off the throttle, we're an average team. 'But when we're going full tilt and we're at it, I think we'll beat anyone.' On the back of their first NHL triumph since 1998, Cork entered the Championship as odds-on favourites to end a 20-year All-Ireland drought. A bookie's decision Sherlock, a member of the victorious 2005 side, said: 'I think people want us to fail. How can you say Cork are going to win the All-Ireland after winning a league final? 'We're around long enough not to fall for it. But was that the reason we played like that against Limerick, that we were thinking we were just going to beat them? It wasn't, 100 per cent.' The Blackrock man also believes the lure of provincial medals is 'the same as it always was'. He added: 'I'd say our fellas who don't have them would do anything to get their hands on one.'

'How can they be hungrier than us? That's my question' Cork throw down gauntlet
Cork selector Wayne Sherlock says there's no way that Limerick should have greater desire than the Rebels in Saturday's Munster final. The holders are bidding for a record-extending seventh provincial title on the spin at a time when Munster has arguably never been as competitive and with a more demanding format too. Cork won the Munster title in the first year of the round robin format in 2018 but this is their first final since. "It's incredible,' said Sherlock of Limerick's recent record. 'If you were an outsider looking at a team going for seven-in-a-row, you'd be thinking it must be a cakewalk. But they've been winning most of the games by a point or two. 'Look, they're phenomenal. But going up to Limerick the next day, how can they be hungrier than us? That's my question. 'We have no All-Irelands, they have five. They're going for seven Munsters, a lot of our fellas have none. Realistically, how can they be hungrier than us? 'It's the question we have to ask ourselves and it can't be possible that they'll be hungrier than us. They're an excellent team and we're going up to play them on their home patch. 'They're probably going to go down as one of the greatest teams ever to play the game. So if you're not at it for this, you probably shouldn't go up there. But one thing we can guarantee the Cork fans is that we'll definitely be better than the last day." Cork manager Pat Ryan has hit out at some of the hype around the team, with one bookmaker paying out early on them winning the Munster and All-Ireland titles, while he said that 'Corkness' is 'the most stupid word I ever saw'. Sherlock shares those sentiments. "I would. It's kind of insulting. I think people want us to fail. How can you say Cork are going to win the All-Ireland just after winning a League final? We're around long enough not to fall for it. 'It's just being spoken about in such a way that you knew it was kind of insulting and they wanted us to fail. 'But was that the reason we played like that against Limerick, that we were thinking we were just going to beat them? It wasn't, 100%. 'We were hyped up before the Clare game and we put in an unbelievable performance in the first half. We were hyped up before the Tipp game and we put in a good performance. 'The noise was there and we still performed, just not for 70 minutes. But the outside noise is just cringey, to be honest.'

Which LGBTQ Non-Canon Ships Are The Best?
There are a lot of relationships in TV shows that I can't help but swoon over, and seeing their romances play out on screen just makes me get all giggly and be excited. However, for every canon couple, there are always the non-canon ones, aka the ones where two actors have such mesmerizing chemistry that fans end up shipping their characters, but they never actually get together onscreen. And, a lot of times, sadly, they are LGBTQ+–focused non-canon couples. And yes, platonic best friends do 100% exist — and those are some of my favorite relationships on TV too — but sometimes it's just undeniable the romantic chemistry. Like, Emma and Regina in Once Upon a Time. You know? So, in honor of Pride 2025, I want to know which queer non-canon ships keep you up at night and you love with your whole soul. Like, maybe you're like me, and Kara and Lena on Supergirl will always be the couple that SHOULD have happened, but just never did. Like, I think about them every day. Perhaps you're in the thick of the 9-1-1 fandom that wants Buck and Eddie's friendship to turn romantic because Oliver Stark and Ryan Guzman have such electric chemistry, it would be the crime of the century if nothing romantically happens between them. Maybe you're a huge fan of Yellowjackets, namely, you cannot stop thinking about Jackie and Shauna. Like, Sophie Nélisse and Ella Purnell were so good together, and Jackie haunting the narrative is just exquisite. Heck, perhaps you want to throw it back to OG Tumblr days, where all you thought about was John and Sherlock on Sherlock, and the chemistry between Martin Freeman and Benedict Cumberbatch. So, tell us which non-canon couples in a show or movie you adore and WHY in the comments or with the Google Form below, and you could be featured in a BuzzFeed Community post!
