I welcome Deputy O' Reilly to this meeting to discuss this important Bill. I very much welcome this legislation and do not have any questions on it. I support the Bill and would urge others to do likewise. I have been working with local organisations and Safe Ireland in support of this type of legislation. It is not a question of whether or if but rather when and how fast we will implement it. I congratulate the Deputy on her work and will give way to my colleagues now. My support for this legislation is 100% because it will help women and men who are suffering domestic violence and who are unsafe in their own homes. We must take every available opportunity to make their world safer and better for their families and themselves.
