Modh Eile House, the home of the COPE Galway Domestic Abuse Service & Refuge
Our Domestic Abuse Service moved out of Waterside House and into Modh Eile House in May 2020.
Our service offers day time supports as well as 24-hour helpline and safe refuge for women, and their children who are experiencing or have experienced domestic abuse.
Our mission is to support and empower women and their children, and to work towards eliminating the structures in society which give rise to and tolerate domestic violence and abuse.
Support and services available to women and their children.
