Domestic abuse callouts have increased by 45% in the last four years, according to new figures from An Garda Síochána.
Data, obtained by Aontú, shows that the force was called to the scene of suspected domestic violence 65,000 times last year.
In 2020, gardaí received 44,782 domestic abuse calls.
Those figures have steadily increased over the years with 65,224 calls made to gardaí in 2024.
Domestic violence calls include breaches of protection and barring orders, and other incidents.
In 2023, more than 60,000 calls were made while 54,000 calls were logged in 2022 and nearly 50,000 in 2021.
Aontú leader Peader Tóibín described the rising rate of callouts as "shocking".
"Ireland is becoming a more violent place for women," he said.
"If the Government doesn't even acknowledge that domestic violence is a major crisis in Ireland at the moment, and that violence against women is rising, then how can it be serious about tackling the problem?"
In response to the parliamentary question, Minister for Justice Jim O'Callaghan said that combating all forms of domestic, sexual and gender-based violence is a "central priority" for Government.
He said that while the data demonstrates a steady increase in the reports to An Garda Síochána, "year-on-year and any increase in reports of domestic violence is deeply concerning".
"There has been significant work undertaken to support victims of Domestic, Sexual, and Gender-Based Violence to come forward and report these matters, and seek the support they have a right to expect," the minister said.
