S4 Ep2 Jennie's Law with Jason Poole

Molly sits down with Jason Poole to discuss gender based
violence. Jason Poole is the brother of the late Jennifer Poole.
Jennifer was murdered by her partner in April 2021 at 24 years of
age. Jennifer was a victim of domestic violence and coercive
control, which eventually led to her being stabbed to death by
her ex-partner. Jason is now a strong advocate for changes in law
that will protect women from suffering the same fate. Jason is a
secondary school teacher and all-around incredible man that is
working tirelessly to get Jennie's Law passed. Jennie's Law would
allow for a domestic abuse register for repeat offenders and
those with convictions. A Right to Ask policy, so individuals can
check if a partner has a history of abuse. A Right to Know
system, allowing Gardaí to warn those at risk proactively. Sign

- Valerie's Law "Valerie's Law," proposed in Ireland, aims
to address a legal loophole where parents convicted of murdering
their partners retain guardianship of their children. This
legislation, named after Valerie French, is intended to prevent
individuals who have caused a family's trauma from continuing to
influence their children's lives. The law seeks to safeguard
children by removing the abuser's legal rights, including access
to their children's details and the ability to make decisions
from prison.
