Violence and abuse in any sector of the economy is a matter for reporting to the Garda for investigation and prosecution where an offence has been committed. Where violence and abuse is identified as a hazard at the workplace, employers are required under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 1989 to include a provision in their safety statement to deal with the problem.
