Since the beginning of COVID-19, the reporting of domestic violence has tragically risen by 25%.

42 of Ireland's finest female artists have come together to raise desperately needed funds for SAFE Ireland, who assist women and children living in crisis.

They have done this by recording a stunning rendition of The Cranberries' song Dreams.

Singer/Songwriter RuthAnne spearheaded and produced this initiative.

Due to current restrictions, all the artists recorded their audio and video from their own homes. Ruth Anne then produced it into the final single.

You can listen back to RuthAnne's chat with Sarina here:

To support, you can buy the track, stream it and watch it on YouTube. You can also text SAFE to 50300 to donate €4 to SAFE Ireland.
