About this episode
Alan Morrissey was speaking to Dr Siobhán O’Connor, Manager of Services with Clare Haven, following the publication of the organisation’s latest annual report.
It shows a record demand for refuge services in 2025, with almost 100 women admitted and 120 children accessing refuge-based supports. Clare Haven also had to turn away 125 requests for help because the refuge was at capacity.
Dr O’Connor joined Alan to discuss those figures, the growing demand for support, and plans for a new refuge centre in Clare.
