Domestic and Sexual Violence: Discussion
3:30 pm
Ms CaitrĂona Gleeson:
On 5 March, the European Union is releasing the first ever extensive robust violence against women prevalence study in which Ireland has been included. It will have results from interviews with 1,500 women. Until we see the data for that, we will not know how we are doing relative to other countries. We will be able to answer that question in two weeks.
