The PSNI and Gardai have made contact with alleged domestic abuse victim Nicola Gallagher since she posted claims about her estranged husband online.
Earlier this month Ms Gallagher claimed she was the victim of physical abuse for more than 24 years.
Her estranged husband Rory Gallagher stepped down as Derry GAA football manager last week after the abuse allegations were made.
In a post on social media, she said that as an 18 year-old she was "dragged" into a carpark in Clones, Co Monaghan, and "was beat into an inch of my life for no reason".
Ms Gallagher also claims she was strangled, bitten on the face and dragged by the hair along the street on another occasion.
She said she was speaking out to encourage other young women who are being abused to know that "silence is not the answer".
In a statement issued through his solicitor, Mr Gallagher said he had "been made aware of a social media post by my estranged wife" in which "she has made a number of very serious allegations against me"
The former GAA star added that "allegations against me have been investigated and dealt with by the relevant authorities".
The Irish News understands that the PSNI has made contact with Ms Gallagher since she posted her allegations earlier this month.
When contacted a spokeswoman said: "We cannot comment on ongoing live investigations. No inference should be drawn from this."
A spokesman for An Garda Síochána said it "does not comment on material posted online".
However, the Irish News understands that the force has also been in touch with Ms Gallagher since her recent online post.
On Monday the Irish News revealed that lawyers acting for Ms Gallagher have asked Public Prosecution Service (PPS) for information about the decision not to prosecute her estranged husband.
The PPS received two investigation files from the PSNI in January and June 2022 and it was determined there was not enough evidence to provide a reasonable prospect of conviction in relation to any individual.
It is believed Ms Gallagher did not request detailed reasons at the time the decisions were made.
While alleged victims have a right to ask for a review of a decision not to prosecute, it is understood no such request has been received in relation to either file.
However, It is believed Ms Gallagher's legal representatives have now requested decision letters linked to the case from the PPS, which is engaging with them.
A spokesman for An Garda Síochána added: "Any person who is the victim of, or who knows or suspects they know a victim of domestic abuse, or who may wish to report or discuss an incident of Domestic or Sexual Abuse is encouraged to contact....their local Garda station or a domestic abuse support agency."
