‹ Order of Business Istanbul Convention ratification
Summary
The Tánaiste says legislation enabling ratification of the Istanbul Convention on violence against women is expected next year.
I am just responding to the question. Second, the work is ongoing in regard to the mother and baby homes. I believe I told the Deputy on the last occasion that it had gone to each Department to get their responses, and that work is ongoing. I do not have an indicative date as yet.
In regard to the Deputy's concerns around violence against women and abuse of women, I understand the ratification of that will be next year.
