The whole system is so broken.

We're only a mother and daughter team.

Myself and my daughter, Rainie, have stopped domestic violence in Ireland.

I have stopped contacting the government.

So what we do now when victims come to us, number one, we try and get them safe.

And that's if we can get a guard that's experienced in domestic violence.

And number two, we try and keep them in their home because we can't get the perpetrator out.

And that's what you're dealing with in Ireland.

And whether we like it or not, we have been failed and so has the people.

I got out in 2011 and it got worse, not better.

And until they make domestic violence a standalone crime in this country that we're living in, give stronger sentences and make them pay for what they have done.

There's no accountability here.

It's, oh, God, help their childhoods.

They had this.

They came from poverty.

No such thing.

And at the end of the day, it's the real victims, the children of domestic violence that are suffering.

And it's, you know, if you don't get out of the cycle, what can you do?

It stopped domestic violence in Ireland and then we wrote a book called Safe the Book and all the proceeds from the book go to buy food vouchers for our victims.

And anybody out there will tell you we're the only probably two that get us because we've been there.
