Mr. Deaglán Ó Briain:

By way of a very brief summary, then, we have commenced work on a new national strategy on domestic, sexual and gender-based violence. The current strategy expires at the end of this year. The next strategy will focus on outcomes. This will identify the desired outcomes, and then the actions and commitments will be built to deliver on those. I will also mention the programme for Government audit of how responsibility for services in this area is fragmented across Departments. That audit will be completed by the end of the month and the two Ministers, our Minister and the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth, will bring the outcome to the Government. The next strategy and the outcome of the audit will provide the context to give us the best possible infrastructure to support victims and to improve the victim's experience and society's response to these crimes.

There are other actions under way, and I would be delighted to give more information in response to questions in that regard.
