Two-thirds of victims of domestic violence in West Cavan, Sligo and Leitrim have no option but to return to their abusive partners, due to a drastic shortage in emergency refuges. Domestic Violence Advocacy Service (DVAS) spokesperson: "The Council of Europe say there should be one refuge space per head of ten thousand population. We’re operating at 38% below the recommended level - behind countries such as Bosnia-Herzegovina in this respect."
