David Hall

executive Ireland

David Hall is the chief executive of Sonas Housing, an organization that provides refuge and support for victims of domestic violence in Ireland. Recently, he has been in the news for raising concerns about the misuse of data protection laws by alleged abusers to obtain sensitive information about their victims. Hall criticized Tusla, the child and family agency, for allegedly disclosing the location of a mother and child seeking refuge from domestic abuse, which he claims endangers their safety. He has strongly advocated for the protection of personal data for those fleeing violence, stating he would rather face imprisonment than compromise the safety of Sonas service users.
