Jamey Carney and the alarming rise in femicide in Ireland, with Liz Dunphy

American mother of one Jamey Carney is the eighth woman to die
violently in Ireland this year.


Her body was discovered in her Killarney home just one day after
that of Adina Constantin in Portlaoise, whose husband has been
charged in connection with her death. Gardaí have launched an
international manhunt in their investigation into Ms Carney’s
killing.


Since the murder of Ashling Murphy in 2022 prompted widespread
outrage, 40 women have died violently in Ireland.


Women’s Aid, the National Women’s Council of Ireland and
politicians across the spectrum have highlighted their concern at
what Taoiseach Micheál Martin referred to this week as the
femicide figures “going in the wrong direction”.


Irish Examiner Southern Correspondent Liz Dunphy has been
covering this story and joins Deirdre on today’s episode.
