Istanbul Convention and domestic violence Bill

Summary

Deputy Ó Fearghaíl requests updates on the Istanbul Convention and promised domestic violence legislation. The Tánaiste will resend the written Convention reply but has no date for the Bill.

Last week I asked about the Istanbul Convention to prevent violence against women. I also raised the issue of the domestic violence Bill which is promised in the legislative programme. At that time the Tánaiste was not able to tell us what the Government would do in respect of the Istanbul convention and she did not have a timeline for the domestic violence Bill. Has she been able to ascertain what progress has been made on either of those two important issues?

Comment on this

I think the Deputy received a written reply in respect of last week's questions. If not, I will have it resent to the Deputy. In respect of the second item, I do not have a date as yet for the taking of the domestic violence legislation.
