We have the new domestic violence regime now, particularly having regard to the ratification by Ireland of the Istanbul Convention. For example, we are midway through the national awareness campaign, which is a six-year, two-part campaign, on the second national strategy on domestic, sexual and gender-based violence. Funding through Cosc continues. There was the new campaign; I am not sure if the Deputy was at the launch. Another national campaign is the What Would You Do? campaign, focused on aspects of domestic violence this year. The No Excuses campaign was recently developed and rolled out on the national airwaves, again with significant results in terms of visibility.
