My third question arises from the witnesses' comments on domestic violence. Up to ten or 15 years ago it was badly managed. Some of our judges and gardaí were not properly trained. Domestic violence is still committed substantially, although not exclusively, against women. Could the witnesses elaborate on how we can better manage and improve the whole area of domestic violence, which is a festering sore on society?
