Abstract
ABSTRACT This article critiques the civil law intervention set out in the Irish Domestic Violence Act 2018 as it applies to victims of domestic violence. It evaluates the five civil orders: safety order, protection order, barring order, interim barring order and the new emergency barring order. The analysis reveals striking inequality in the legislature’s approach to providing protection to victims of domestic violence. While some victims have only access to minimal protection, others still are left with no recourse under the Domestic Violence Act 2018. This article highlights these substantive gaps in protection and reveals inconsistencies and contradictions in how these victims are marginalised and excluded.
