I also join in extending condolences to and expressing ongoing solidarity with the families of the Berkeley victims and their wider circles.

I want to ask the Tánaiste about the consolidated domestic violence legislation. Yesterday she participated in the launch of the report of Women's Aid which set out the latest round of absolutely horrifying statistics. She and I both know that this is not about statistics; it is about real people and real lives. Therefore, it is a source of great concern that the legislation has been stalled for so long. It is listed in the legislative programme under the heading of "All Other Legislation". It has been noted that the outcome of the pre-legislative scrutiny was reported on in September 2015. Will the Tánaiste tell us when we will deal with the legislation and get it onto the Statute Book?

The Tánaiste will be aware of this issue, not least because she has been talking to people within the community of the north inner city about it. It concerns the illegal trading of prescription drugs. It is welcome that it is the intention to legislate in that regard, but may we have a timetable as to when we will deal with it? I would like to think we will deal with the matter before the House rises for the summer.

As the Tánaiste will be relieved to hear, we say to the Government that, in the event of a Brexit, the issue for us is not simply about trade with the neighbouring island; the more immediate concern is that the country remains partitioned. I appeal to the Government should a Brexit happen that time and consideration be given and collaboration pursued to develop an understanding of the implications for a country that suffers, economically and socially, because of partition.

Notwithstanding the validity of the points the Deputy and others have made about Brexit, it is not an appropriate matter to raise on the Order of Business.

I have done it now.

As the Deputy said, the report by Women's Aid published yesterday detailed horrific instances of domestic violence and abuse, thousands of cases of women who had reported to that organisation the most horrendous abuse experienced by them.

It is a very sad and disturbing report, which shows what the Taoiseach noted yesterday is often a hidden Ireland. Thankfully, more and more women are coming forward to get the kinds of supports that they need. In reply to the Deputy's question, I am the Minister who signed the Istanbul Convention last year and who is going to ensure that we ratify it as soon as certain Bills come through and some other work is done. The domestic violence legislation is a consolidated Bill and a huge amount of work has been done on it. That work continues and I will be in a position to publish it early next term.

The prescribed drugs legislation has been fast-tracked by the Minister for Health, Deputy Simon Harris, and has gone to Cabinet. It will be published next Tuesday. In that regard, we would like to thank all of the Opposition spokespeople who have been involved in supporting the development of that legislation. I hope they can ensure its speedy passage through the House before the summer recess. It is very important, not just in terms of the north inner city where it certainly impacts, but throughout Ireland where dealing in prescription drugs needs to be stopped. This legislation will support An Garda Síochána.

I take the points that were made on Brexit. The whole situation in regard to Northern Ireland is key for our hope that the vote is "Yes", but it is, of course, a matter for the voters in England.
