We were joined on The Agenda this morning by Emma Hallahan, who has bravely agreed to speak to us here on LMFM about surviving horrific domestic violence at the hands of her ex-boyfriend, Anthony Mackessy. Emma was put through a horrific sustained assault at the hands of Anthony, who dragged her up and down stairs by her hair, beat her, held her at knifepoint and told her he'd kill her at her home in Dungarvan, Co Waterford on January 13, 2024.Last week the HSE worker, who eventually pleaded guilty to assault, was jailed for just one year behind bars for his shocking crime. However, thanks to standard remission and time served having gone into custody in April - he will walk free from prison on January 5, 2026.Emma bravely opened up to LMFM this morning and shared her story.
