Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality
Domestic and Sexual Violence: Discussion
10:20 am
Ms Laura Pohjolainen:
We urge the Government to sign and ratify the Council of Europe convention. This would allow us to address the ineffectiveness of the legislation in the criminal and civil justice systems, for example, long delays in accessing court orders, inconsistent responses from the Garda and low conviction and imprisonment rates.
